Celebrate Your Freedom to Read ...

... by reading a book that has been challenged - or in some cases actually removed from the shelf.

Thanks to the efforts of teachers, librarians, and many others challenged books have remained on the shelves and available for everyone.

Banned Book Week is a reminder that we should not take our freedom to read lightly - the American Library Association's site for Banned Book Week is a great place for more information.
