Welcome
to the 5th annual September Project! The September Project is a grassroots
effort to encourage events about freedom and democracy in all libraries in all
countries during the month of September. September Project events are free and
organized locally.



 



In 2004,
we began the September Project to break the silence following September 11, and
to invite all people into libraries to consider topics of patriotism, democracy,
and citizenship. Initially, events focused on September 11 and largely took
place on September 11. As the project evolved, events spread throughout the
month of September and focused on issues of freedom and democracy.



 



To
date, public, academic, school, and government libraries around the world have
organized September Project book displays, community book readings, children's
art projects, film screenings, theatrical
 performances, civic deliberations, voter
registrations, murals, panel discussions, and so much more. What will this year
bring? How can you participate? Organize an event at your library, and tell us
about it! We’ll post all events on this site as they develop around the
world.
