Stand against censorship and explore all the ways to celebrate the freedom to read at QPL!

The American Library Association has reported historic highs in the number of banned and challenged book titles.

It is more important than ever to stand against censorship.

You can get QPL's Special Edition Freedom to Read Library Card starting October 4, read recommended titles in digital formats without any checkout limits on OverDrive, join a silent reading event on October 11, and so much more.
