The September Project is a grassroots effort to encourage public events on freedom, democracy, and citizenship in libraries on or around September 11. September Project events are activitiesof reflection, discussion, and dialogue about the meaning of freedom, the role of information in promoting active citizenship, and the importance of literacy in making sense of the world around us.
Events take place on September 11, on the weekend of September 11, or throughout the month of September. In other words, whenever it works best for your library and community. Libraries around the world are collaborating with organizations to host public and campus events, such as: displays about human rights and historical documents; talks and performances about freedom and cultural difference; and film screenings about issues that matter. Over 100 examples of events can befound at: http://www.theseptemberproject.org/pastevents.htm
