Banned Book Readout
Monday, September 28, 2009
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Craig-Lee


Banned Books Week 2009 is the twenty-eighth annual celebration of the freedom
to read.

Come celebrate the freedom to read with Sigma Tau Delta.
-Bring your favorite banned book
-Dress as your favorite banned book character
-Prepare a banned book dish to share
-Prepare a passage to read from a banned or challenged book
-Readings will be scored on categories such as "worthiness to be banned," ridiculousness factor," and "reading performance"
-Winners will choose from a selection of famously banned books

Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to choose and the
freedom to express one’s opinion, even if that opinion might be
considered unpopular or unorthodox. The campaign stresses the
importance of ensuring the availability of those viewpoints to all
who wish to read them.
