This week is Banned Books Week, which is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. It spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. It brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas.
Today in class we read two of the books that have been challenged in the past and then discussed why they might be on the banned books list.
