Promotional poster for Banned Books Week UK
From 5–11 October, we’ll be celebrating the books that have been banned, challenged or censored, and celebrating the people who write, publish and share them.
We believe everyone deserves the right to read freely. View our curated list of #bannedbooks at: librarian.syndetics.com/syn.../lp/78...
