To celebrate national Banned Books Week, a number of Dane County libraries are hosting Banned Books Con Oct. 1–7, according to NBC15. This marks the first time the event has been hosted locally.
The event is supported by Madison’s Beyond the Page, which backs free public humanities programs in 28 public Dane County libraries. Banned Books Con kicked off on Sunday at Sun Prairie Library with a panel of local experts who led a community discussion regarding intellectual freedom and censorship.
Further information on Banned Books Con and a schedule of events is available online.
