Banned Books Week was established by the American Library Association in 1982 to reaffirm the freedom to read and to highlight the harms of censorship, and is usually held in the last week of September.
On this episode, Ryan talks to Sam Lee, co-chair of the Connecticut Library Association’s Intellectual Freedom Committee, about censorship, the First Amendment and the history and current state of book challenges.
After that, Hamden Library Board of Trustees member Amber Woodward and I discuss her background, balancing community benefit with individual rights and her role in helping the library ensure all users benefit from the ALA's Bill of Rights, among other topics.
