Tulane University Libraries is proud to support Banned Books Week (October 5-11, 2025).
"Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in libraries, bookstores, and schools. Typically (but not always) held during the last week of September, the annual event highlights the value of free and open access to information and brings together the entire book community — librarians, educators, authors, publishers, booksellers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas.
The next Banned Books Week will be held October 5–11, 2025.
The theme of this year’s event is Censorship Is So 1984 — Read for Your Rights."
