About this event

All are welcome! Participants can select a passage from their favorite banned/challenged book and read it aloud. There will also be excerpts from selected banned and challenged books for participants to read from. Bring your own title, select from a curated compilation or choose from books we’ll have on hand. Every reader will be entered into a raffle for prizes and refreshments will be provided. Banned Books Week is organized by Syracuse University Libraries and the College of Arts & Sciences' Department of English, along with sponsors: the Departments of Religion; Women's and Gender Studies; Art and Music History; LGBT Studies; Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics; Political Science; and Writing; The Humanities Center; as well as the Tully Center for Free Speech and Maxwell School's Community Geography Program.
