Freedom to Read Week is an annual event that encourages Canadians to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom, which is guaranteed them under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. (Freedom to Read Week website)

In a world where censorship and control of information is a real threat, libraries are beacons of intellectual freedom. This Freedom to Read Week, let’s celebrate our commitment to free and open access to knowledge! (thank you Ottawa Public Library for this message and the two images below)
