Banned Books Week was September 26 - October 2. This year, Out North and the Anchorage Public Library teamed up again to present unAUTHORized - a special September series highlighting challenged books and discussing themes of censorship, intellectual freedom, and the importance of libraries.

​During the month of September, excerpts from banned and challenged books aired weekdays on KONR-LP 106.1 FM alongside weekly panel discussions. 

Recordings of the panel discussions are available for listening below!
