Banned Books Week 2012

This week, September 30th through October 6th, libraries and bookstores across the country will celebrate Banned Books Week. Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 as a response to the mass number of challenges to books in schools and libraries. Books are still challenged, banned, and removed from shelves today - here is a list of the most challenged titles from 2011. Check out this page with top ten lists from several years, and a list of banned and challenged classics.

During this week librarians take the time to, through book displays and information, remind people of the freedom to read what they want - and to allow others to do the same.
