It's Freedom to Read week in Canada!
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees us access to diverse books.
Yet, books are being challenged in Canada. Some of them are your favourites.
Each of the books on our display has been banned in public libraries or school libraries in Canada or the United States at some point. Some of them are banned right now.
All students need and deserve access to all books. That's how we find connection and understanding of ourselves. It is also how we learn empathy and understanding of people who are different from us.
Come up to the Learning Commons and check out a banned (or previously banned) book!
Read. Learn. Grow.
