Banned Book Readout

Start Time: 7:00 PM

At the Hamilton Public Library's Community Room.  Celebrate your freedom to read!  Join us for a reading of banned books with members of the local communities, Colgate, and the MidYork Library System.  Discussion to follow.  Sponsored by the Chenango Valley Peace Alliance, the Hamilton Public library, and the Colgate Bookstore.

Last year, the American Library Association received a total of 420 book challenges.  Celebrating the freedom to read, Banned Book Week is observed during the last week of September each year.  Observed since 1982, this annual American Library Association event reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted.
