| 30th Anniversary of Banned Books Week |
The 30th anniversary of the American Library Association's
Banned Books Week is graced by Honorary Chairs Bill and Judith Moyers, award-winning journalists and staunch defenders of the
freedom to read. Bill Moyers draws an interesting distinction between censhorship and lies: “Censorship is the enemy of truth, even more than a lie. A lie can be exposed; censorship can prevent us from knowing the difference.” Watch Moyers discuss his love of reading and libraries in this
video essay commemorating the 30th anniversary of Banned Books Week. For information on frequently challenged books, see the
ALA's Banned & challenged books page.
