Book People's Banned Books Week  featured a week of fun events, including two Read-A-Thons, in which famous local writers, elected officials, and nonprofit notables read excerpts from books banned or challenged in the state of Texas during the previous year.
	Kansas State University hosted a Read-A-Thon for Banned Books Week
	In 2007, San Jose State University hosted a program during which students debated the pros and cons of book censorship. SJSU students also publicly performed Allen Ginsberg's controversial poem "Howl."
	In 2009, Duke theater studies Lecturing Fellow Jay O'Berski teamed up with the Durham County Library to dramatize scenes from frequently challenged books.
	St. Ambrose University Library held an Edible Book contest and played Banned Books Week Bingo for 2009's celebration.
	Tacoma, Washington-based King's Books celebrated Banned Books Week 2005 with a panel discussion, a film night, and storytime. The store even collaborated with a local letterpress printer to create a unique Banned Books Week matchbook-style book. This year, the store has already begun meetings of the Banned Books Club.
