Check out our Banned Book Week page to see find books and eBooks in the OC Libraries that people have tried to ban. You will also find videos, including some Olympic College faculty and administrators highlighting a book they love that people have tried to censor. Come by the Haselwood Library to check out our banned book display!
Why celebrate Banned Book Week? Supreme Course Justice William O. Douglas once said, "Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us."
The American freedom to read is inextricably linked to our rights to free thought and free speech. Celebrate freedom! Read the books you love.
