Banned Books Week [Sept.25-Oct.2] is an annual celebration of our right to read without censorship. It commemorates the most basic freedom in a democratic society—the freedom to read freely—and encourages us not to take this freedom for granted.
Perhaps you will want to check out and read a banned or challenged book this week! Here are some links to get you started:
