: novalawcityBanned Books Week 2009
This week is Banned Books Week (BBW). Started in 1982, BBW draws attention to the problem of censorship and celebrates our freedom to read. Check out the BBW website, where you can find an annotated list of the 10 most frequently challenged books in 2008, see a map of reported challenges over the past 2 years, and discover BBW events in your area.
For a more historical perspective on banned books, the American Library Association offers an annotated list of Banned and Challenged Classics. Here a a couple of examples from that list:
