The Thomas G. Carpenter Library will hold its annual Banned Books Week celebration this week. The national celebration is a decades-long tradition and this year, it will be recognized from Sept 24-30. In 2017, Banned Books Week aims to draw attention to the importance of the First Amendment.

The event website states that banned books can be removed from libraries, not allowed to be published, not allowed to enter a county or even physically destroyed.
