Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read: September 18-September 24, Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment.  Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States. Observed since 1982, this annual library event reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted. Here's this week's theme: "Books Unite Us. Censorship Divides Us."

Each day there will be a trivia question to answer in the library.  Clues at the library display table will help you answer the question.  Each day, a prize will be awarded to one correct winner. Today's prize is a Packer hat! Stop in the library today!

Here is Monday’s trivia question:
