Banned Books Week is celebrated the week of September 26 - October 3. The central message for Banned Books Week is that censorship violates the right of free expression. Observed annually, this ALA event celebrates the freedom to read books that may be considered inappropriate or express unpopular ideas.
We have set up our annual display showcasing some of the challenged titles. This display always generates interest and discussion among our students and faculty as they see some of their favorite titles in our display case.
While in Austin this past summer I visited my favorite store Book People and found the following bumper sticker : Everything I need to know about life I've learned by reading Banned Books.
