Banned Books Week

The American Library Association helps libraries around the country celebrate Banned Books Week from September 25 – October 2. This week is meant to highlight resources that are being threatened in libraries all over the country and encourage library users to celebrate their freedom to read. There is a display in the Curriculum Collection featuring some books that have been challenged or banned including a recent banning in Missouri, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie. Librarians consider intellectual freedom to be of the utmost importance in our professional code of ethics and Banned Books Week is a good reminder of this basic human right.
