Banned Books Week is only three days away! As we count down to the week, we want to share some of the videos that have been created for the 50 State Salute to Banned Books Week.

Today’s featured videos were created by libraries and librarians in California, Illinois, and Massachusetts.

We hope you enjoy these videos the ones to come. If your community or organization would like to submit a video for your state, check out the 50 State Salute page for more information. The deadline is Friday, September 28, but if you need more time, please contact Nanette Perez via email at nperez@ala.org or via phone at (800) 545-2433, ext. 4225.
