In partnership with the Erie County Public Library, we're giving away free banned books to empower our community with knowledge and activate critical thinking.

Your donation to Lake Erie Lit Fest directly supports this vital initiative, helping us put essential literature into the hands of readers and push back against the forces that seek to control what we read and think.

Visit Erie County Public Library’s Banned Books Exhibit at Lake Erie Lit Fest to explore the books being challenged today. Take home a copy (while supplies last) and decide for yourself what warrants a book ban.

Join us in defending freedom of speech and the right to read. Donate today to fight fascism, one banned book at a time!
