Freedom to Read Week by Cole McNaughton

We here at the Temiskaming Shores Public Library invite our patrons to participate in celebrating Freedom to Read Week during February 20 to 26, 2022. By taking part in this annual event it encourages us to reaffirm our commitment to intellectual freedom.

Over the past decades there have been hundreds of books that were challenged across Canada. Our library houses a number of these titles and we would like to share them with the community. By reading below you can see a visual booklist of the titles we carry.

For more information on Freedom to Read Week please visit https://www.freedomtoread.ca/. This website also has a complete archived list of books challenged in Canada dating back to 1960 that can be found by visiting https://www.freedomtoread.ca/wp-content/uploads/Challenged-Books-and-Magazines-January-2021.pdf.

Finally if there is a title we do not physically carry there is a high chance that it is available through Overdrive’s Libby app.
