Let's Ban Censorship

 Banned Books Week 2025

October 5 - October 11, 2025

Author and Actor David Duchovny said the following at an American Library Association "How I Library" episode:

"If you cloister a mind, if you ban books that disagree with the prevailing sense of what is right or wrong, or what is religious or non-religious, or what is affecting young people or not affecting young people; if you cloister that mind you leave it weak and undefended.  

You have to go out into the marketplace of ideas to figure out which one wins for you.  

You can't spoon feed people.  

You can't spoon feed a culture."
