<h4>Get ready to fight for your right to read!</h4>

Banned books and challenges plague this country by removing rich, diverse books that we all can learn and grow from. Join our social justice effort to discuss how you can make a difference in your community, leading into national Banned Books Week.

Whether you're a book lover, parent, educator, or activist, you'll gain knowledge and tool kits to take action across our state, and fight against discriminatory bans. Let's show that literature should be celebrated, not censored.

Banned Books Week is September 22-28, 2024. Learn more about book bans and challenges in Ohio: https://www.honestyforohioeducation.org/book-bans.html

Registration is not required, although it helps us prepare for this community gathering.
