Freedom to Read Week Button

Celebrate Freedom to Read Week

February 18-24, 2024

When access to a diverse selection of books is restricted, we lose the opportunity to broaden our understanding of the world and build empathy and compassion for the lived experiences of others.

This button is an expression against the banning and restriction of books in public spaces.
