Celebrate Freedom to Read Week, February 23 - 29!
“Freedom to Read Week is an annual event that encourages Canadians to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom, which is guaranteed them under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms” -- that includes having access to all reading materials!
We encourage you to come to the Library and check out books that have been challenged or banned in our Freedom to Read Week display. We also have a selection of books “under wraps” which were banned/challenged in Canada, with an excerpt of why they were challenged. Test your knowledge to see if you can guess their titles!
Fill out a Freedom to Read puzzle or word search to win a $15. gift card to the UPEI Bookstore.
Take a pic of your favourite banned or challenged book and share it on social media!
Check out the Freedom to Read Week website at http://www.freedomtoread.ca/
Books in the display may be borrowed from the Library.
