Every year the Traverse Area District Library celebrates Banned Books Week and our continued commitment to the freedom to read. This freedom is codified within our library policies (Library Bill of Rights, Freedom to Read, Freedom to View), and it is core to who we are as a library.
- "Banned Books Week Through the Years" Poster Display - McGuire Community Room (September 12- October 17, 2025)
- Youth
- Power to the Parent Brochure (Download)
- Teen - Banned Books Brochure (Link)
- Adult - Banned Books Display (Find this on the second floor of the Main Library during Oct. 2025!)
- Banned Books promo items
- We will be opening a special limited-edition Banned Books popup shop 9/29-10/30. Check it out!
- All proceeds from the items will be used to purchase additional "own voices" books for TADL's collection.
We honor and celebrate the right for everyone to read materials of their choosing. If you are having difficulties finding library materials that meet your needs, ask a librarian! They will be happy to help you.
