Fahrenheit 451 will be presented as part of Banned Books Week, Oct. 1-7, at Queens Public Library (QPL). Through a series of events and activities recognizing the stories, voices and titles threatened by censorship across the nation. QPL will raise public awareness through large graphics at the entrance of every location with the message, “All Books Are Welcome Here. Protect the Freedom to Read.”

The initiative comes at a time when book bans and challenges have been rising sharply across America, putting libraries on the frontlines of protecting the freedom to read. Although such book bans are currently not happening in New York City, libraries across the five boroughs have seen aggressive attempts to shut down Drag Story Hours.
