BANNED BOOK
WEEK
September 26 through
October 3, 2009
Take the FPL Banned Book Challenge:
Read at least one book that has been "banned."
Actually, it's really not such a challenge. Odds are, at least one of the books you've
enjoyed has been "banned" (or challenged) by someone. This means that someone,
somewhere has taken action to keep a book off the shelves or curriculum of a school or
library.
The American Library Association keeps a list of some of these books. See if one of
your favorites from our collection is here (note, this is only a PARTIAL list of challenged
books which may be found in many libraries, and does not include any children's books):
