Banned Books Week September 24-October 1!

We are celebrating Banned Books Week in the North Central Library by displaying some of our library books that have been banned or challenged in the past.  The First Amendment protects our rights as readers to read what we choose and have unrestricted access to information. All of the books on display have been the target of censorship and banning at some time.  This means that somebody or a group of individuals has tried to keep these books from being read because they do not believe in the ideas portrayed in the stories.

Come check out the display in the library! Have you read any of these books?  Are you surprised that some of them have been banned from other school libraries?  How would you feel if somebody wanted these books taken out of your library?
