Celebrate Banned Books Week: Virtual Conversation with Author Dashka Slater In-Person
Join us to celebrate Banned Books week with a virtual conversation with best-selling author Dashka Slater. Dashka is the author of eleven books of fiction and nonfiction for children and adults. Her latest book is Accountable: The True Story of a Racist Social Media Account and the Teenagers Whose Lives It Changed.
We Celebrate Your Freedom to Read! Banned Books Week is a nationwide celebration in which the book community highlights their support of free access to information, in support of the freedom to read.
Efforts to ban books have often sparked debates about censorship, freedom of expression, and the role of literature in society. Organizations such as the American Library Association (ALA) work to promote intellectual freedom and oppose book banning and censorship. Banned Books Week highlights the importance of the freedom to read and raises awareness about books that have been banned or challenged.
