Lenox Library to Host Banned Bookathon
 |
LENOX, Mass. — In celebration of Banned Books Week, which takes place Oct. 5 through 11, 2025, Lenox Library will host an all-day "Banned Bookathon" on Wednesday, Oct. 8.
Community members are invited to sign up for a 15-minute timeslot(s) to read from their favorite banned book. The Library hopes to fill the day with diverse readers and stories celebrating the right to read.
Established in 1982, Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community in shared support of the freedom to read. This year’s theme is “Censorship Is So 1984. Read for Your Rights.”
With the escalation in attempts to ban books in libraries, schools, and bookstores around the country, George Orwell’s cautionary tale 1984 serves a prescient warning about the dangers of censorship, stated a press release.
