Banned Books! Freedom to Read!



Celebrate the Freedom to Read and the importance of the First Amendment! Why have Huckleberry Finn and Harry Potter been banned from libraries? Why are books banned? What are the most challenged and banned books? Come to the library for answers to these questions. Check out the display case in the library this month to see a selection of books that have either been banned or have been targets of attempted bannings! Every year, there are hundreds of attempts by individuals and groups in the United States and around the world to have books removed from libraries and from classrooms.

Banned Books Week is September 25−October 2, 2010
