Banned Books! Censorship!
Celebrate the Freedom to Read and the importance of the First Amendment! Why have Harry Potter, Twilight, and the Dictionary been banned from libraries? Banning books isn't something that was done centuries or decades ago. It happens nearly every week somewhere in the United States and around the world to have books removed from libraries and from classrooms. 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!
Banned Books Week is September 24−October 1, 2011
