Bowen talks banned books and newest Kilbourn book
Bringing in Bowen was important because, in addition to it being freedom to read week, it is also banned book month to which Bowen is an advocate, says Ward. Bowen says she is very committed to freedom to read week and says it is important for us to think about our freedom to read. “It’s important for people to start to think about how much intellectual freedom is guaranteed to us under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, how important that is to our lives.” Bowen said it is important to think about those rights because Canadians often take those rights for granted.
