    Read and Resist Events

    Intellectual freedom is more than banned books. It's the free flow of ideas and information. Protect freedom to read, create, and express. Borrow a banned book from the Library bookmobile, create resistance art, or visit the cultural center libraries for a chance to win a limited edition Read & Resist tote bag and gift card to the Illini Union bookstore.
