Books and Beyond: Literary Lounge: Banned Books Week

International Banned Books Week: Books unite us, censorship divides us. Join Alison and Ineka as they highlight the value of free and open access to information. They review some current challenged titles and some from 40 years ago. Celebrate the freedom to read! All the books discussed in this episode can be found in the Auckland Libraries catalogue, most in a range of formats.
