At Livingston Lord Library, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to read, learn, and explore ideas.

This Let Freedom Read Day, we're encouraging our Minnesota State Moorhead community to take at least one action in support of the freedom to read. From speaking up for libraries to staying engaged in your community, every action helps protect access to information and ideas.

Censorship doesn't stop when Banned Books Week ends. Defending the right to read is a year-round effort. How will you take action?
