“It’s important that everybody has access to books, and that no one person has the ability to take away a person’s freedom to read,” Amanda Pierce, Peter White Public Library teen services coordinator, told WLUC. “You have that right to read whatever you’d like to read.”

The library is hosting “Banned Book Week” Sept. 18-24.

Books on its banned list include To Kill a Mockingbird, Beyond Magenta, The Hunger Games, and All Boys Aren’t Blue.
