Banned Books week is September 22-27, 2019 and Booth Library is recognizing these books that challenge what should be published and our freedom of speech. You can find the other display of banned books at Booth Library on the third floor corridor here.
Banned books are important because they challenge the status quo of traditional literature and help promote freedom of speech. Burned, banned, challenged, and censored for many years. List of books that have been banned/challenged at some time can be found here.
Here is a list of the banned kids books at the Ballinger Teacher Center and why people have tried to ban them.
There are also multiple displays up around the library for people to check out and enjoy the books, from juvenile, adult, as well as films adapted from these banned books. A playlist of films adapted from these books can be found below:
