Visit the Banned Books Week Back Alley Book Fair Oct. 6

Step into the Back Alley Book Fair on Tuesday, Oct. 6  from 1-3 p.m. and celebrate the freedom to read during Banned Books Week.

Browse a selection of banned and challenged books available to check out, explore free donated books to add to your own collection, and sign up for a Las Vegas-Clark County Library District card!

While you're here, create your own zine or bookmark, enjoy light refreshments, and connect with fellow readers as we celebrate the power of books, diverse perspectives, and intellectual freedom.

The back alley book fair, which is located in the Goldfield Room at Lied Library, is hosted by the University Libraries and the Graduate Student Organization Off the Shelf: A Banned Book Club.
