Banned Books WeekCelebrating the Freedom to Read: Sept. 27- Oct. 3, 2015

Are books really still banned in the United States? Yes! Every year, the American Library Association reports hundreds of challenges to books in schools and libraries all over the United States, and ALA estimates that the unreported number of challenges is significantly higher. People continually try to take away readers’ power to decide what books are right for themselves or their children by bringing challenges to remove books from librar-ies. Sometimes those challenges result in books being removed from circulation — the dreaded ban. Visit: http://www.ala.org/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks for more information.
