You may have noticed that Lookout is celebrating Banned Books Week, which runs from September 30 – October 6.

Here in Wilmington, Old Books On Front St. hosted a Banned Books Read-In on October 1^st. The YouTube channel Banned Books Week Virtual Read-Out features readers “exercising their First Amendment Right to read a banned book.”

Hopefully many readers across the U.S. have been spending this week feeling grateful for—and inspired by—the opportunity to read banned books and fight back against the egregious acts of censorship that have prevented many readers from accessing these titles.

A great Banned Books Week message from Author Judy Blume!

This year’s Banned Books Week will be officially celebrated September 30 – October 6, though there’s no hurt in starting now!

More info can be found on through the American Library Association.

Here in Wilmington, NC, there will be plenty of banned books on Front Street.
