Each year, libraries and bookstores across the country observe Banned Books Week.

This year, Arlington County and Arlington Public Library became an official Book Sanctuary.

On September 26, the Arlington County Board adopted a Resolution in support of Arlington Public Library declaring, “Arlington County libraries as Book Sanctuaries, committed to protecting banned and challenged books and the right of the residents of Arlington to read the books they choose without fear of suppression.”
