Banned Books Week

September 26 through October 3 is Banned Books Week--a celebration of freedom to read. Hurray! The American Library Association has more information on this yearly occurrence. And the Banned Books Week website (http://bannedbooksweek.org/index.html) has a really interesting interactive map showing what books were challenged and where between 2007 and 2009.

Most banned books are banned from schools due to controversial content.

To censor, or not to censor?

That is the question.
