Southwest Festival of the Written Word Presents: Banned Book Panel with Performances from WNMU Students
The American Library Association reported that in 2022, the books challenged were the “highest number of attempted book bans since ALA began compiling data about censorship in libraries more than 20 years ago”. In this time where the freedom to read is constantly being challenged, it’s important to understand these book bans and to celebrate literature. It’s also important to hear student voices about this issue.
