On Saturday, September 30^th at 1:00pm, Mendocino County Library, Ukiah Branch is hosting a Banned Books Week Shirt Art event. Visit the library and decorate a shirt celebrating your freedom to read! Shirts and art materials will be provided, and participants get to take their creations home. This event is free to the public and family-friendly.

Banned Books Week is a nationwide event recognizing the value of free and open access to information for all ages and showing to the harms of censorship. Libraries, booksellers, teachers, readers, and more join together to feature books that have been targeted for removal or restriction in libraries and schools and celebrate that, in many cases, those books are still available.
