Banned Book Week: Open Your Mind to a Banned Book

Since 1981, we have celebrated Banned Books Week (BBW) every year. The week gives us an excuse when we can read all those famously banned and burned books (even though we shouldn't need an excuse). The Bible, Grimm's fairy tales, Huxley's "Brave New World," and Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" have all been banned. Even dictionaries have been removed from classrooms and libraries. Find links about Banned Literature, and be sure to learn about national Banned Books Week events from the American Library Association. Take a look at famous "Banned Classics," then join us in a discussion about "Banned Book Week."
