Join SEAT and Banned Books Initiative for a student-led workshop on community engagement and policy advocacy for the freedom to learn. Together, we can act locally for a global impact.

Students Engaged in Advancing Texas (SEAT) is a movement of young people developing transferable skills and demonstrating youth visibility in policymaking.

Banned Books Initiative is a student-led nonprofit, based in California, advocating for the freedom to read.

Celebrate the freedom to read with Marlborough’s Banned Books Display, a showcase of stories that have been challenged or banned in schools and libraries across the country. This interactive display highlights the importance of intellectual freedom and the power of diverse voices in literature. Students, faculty, and visitors are invited to browse featured titles, learn about the history of book challenges, and reflect on why protecting access to these books matters. Stop by, discover a new perspective, and join the conversation on defending the right to read.
