Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Intellectual freedom (the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular) provides the foundation for Banned Books Week.

-Projects can be multimedia (i.e. a poster, a short podcast, a sculpture, a video, etc. with the theme of Banned Books Week)

-Projects are due at the end of Banned Books Week on Saturday, September 28 (11:59pm)

-Email submissions to: ala-students@stkate.edu
