Speak Out, Read Out

Come speak out on behalf of the books, ideas and works of art that have been banned, censored or challenged throughout human history.

In recognition of Banned Books Week, an annual celebration of books and our right to read them, ASU Library is hosting a "read out," a public reading of books, newspapers, plays and other texts that have been banned, challenged or restricted in some way, or that speak to the issue of freedom of speech. 

The theme for this year’s Banned Books Week, sponsored by the American Library Association, is “Speak Out.” 

Related events will take place at all ASU libraries on all campuses during Banned Books Week from Sept. 23–30.
