Banned Books Week

We are right in the middle of Banned Books Week–October 5-11, 2025. What’s the best way to make an impact? Stop by Blasco Library and check out a book–banned or otherwise! With the construction on the Bayfront Parkway, a trip to the library does take more effort. You may know that the county executive used the library numbers–including during the pandemic–to “justify” staff cuts and the Gannon lease. Don’t give him the opportunity to capitalize on this construction project by letting the numbers slip. Visit Blasco today!

“Banning books gives silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.”

~Stephen Chbosky
