FREEDOM TO READ WEEK

In announcing the twelfth-annual Freedom to Read Week, February 26 - March 3, 1996, the members of the Book and Periodical Council's Freedom of Expression Committee reaffirmed their support for intellectual freedom, guaranteed under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Freedom of Expression Committee acknowledged the ongoing committment of Canadian writers, publishers, libraries, educators, and booksellers to support intellectual freedom, and committed themselves to vigilance.

Books and magazines are banned at the border. Books are removed from the shelves in Canadian libraries, schools, and bookstores every day. Few of these stories make headlines, but they affect the right of Canadians to decide for themselves what they choose to read.

The Freedom of Expression Committee has produced the Freedom to Read Week Kit. The 1996 Kit contains all-new material, activities for schools and libraries, and a new Freedom to Read Week poster.
