What
do Captain Underpants and Cat's Cradle have in common? Twilight and Tropic of
Cancer? The Awakening and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian? All have
been banned or challenged, according to the American Library Association’s Office of Intellectual Freedom.
September
22-28, 2013, is Banned Books week, an annual event celebrating the freedom to
read.
Take
a look at the Banned Books display outside the main entrance the library. It
has a pile of books – and information about recent challenges here in the
Northwest. You might also want to browse
the Banned Books Week website. Or read a banned or challenged book! You can find lists of frequently challenged books here. And we even have a few in the Law Library collection:
