Banned Book Week 2012

Did you see our display in the YA Fiction area yet? If not, there is still time! Banned Book Week 2012 is winding down (from September 30 to October 6), but we'll leave our display up a few more days. Banned Book Week isn't just a special, one week issue. The issue of censorship and banning books is a 24/7 occurrence. We have this week in the fall to bring awareness to the fact it happens and that someday, we hope, no one will face these issues.

Until then, let's celebrate our freedom to read what we want!

By the way, you can check out those books, take them home, and happily tear away the paper covering the book to free the book (Just don't rip the book)! Can you recognize the center book there? See which favorites have been banned in the past from the links below.



Want to learn more about Banned Book Week? Check out these links:

• The Top 100 Banned Books from 2000-2009, in a really awesome infographic.
• The Official Banned Books Week page, with a lot of great information.
• The American Library Association's Banned Book Week page.
