Freedom to Read Week in February is an annual Canadian campaign (usually late Feb/early March) promoting intellectual freedom and raising awareness about censorship, encouraging people to read challenged books and discuss the importance of free access to diverse ideas for a democratic society, with organizations hosting events like read-along and displays. It highlights that book challenges remain a concern, even in Canada, and emphasizes defending the right to read, write, and publish freely.
