"Connecting the world one library at a time"
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.
The September Project was begun in 2004 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. Mildred Johnson Library participates in the Project in a small way by presenting information about Patriotism, Democracy, and Citizenship in relation to Constitution Day on Sept. 17; Banned Books Week from Sept. 29 - Oct 4, 2008; and the upcoming 2008 Presidential Elections.
