Banned Books Week with ALA President Cindy Hohl

 ALA President Cindy Hohl 

 

Tuesday, September 24, at 2 PM on KPFK, I present my annual program celebrating Banned Books Week (September 22-29) with special guest American Library Association (ALA) President Cindy Hohl. This year’s Banned Books Week 2024 theme is “Freed Between the Lines,” an observance of the freedom found in the pages of books and the need to defend that freedom from censorship. Supporters can join a day of action on September 28 — Let Freedom Read Day — which will focus on voting, from registering to vote and understanding what’s on the ballot to making sure communities are informed about their rights. Learn more about the history and recent successes of the ALA’s campaigns to defend libraries, librarians, booksellers, students, and readers. Visit your local library, and support your librarian!
