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 Booth Library display from the Ballenger Teacher Center also has a banned children’s literature display
Banned books are important because they challenge the status quo of traditional literature and help promote freedom of speech. They have been burned, banned, challenged, and censored for many years at libraries, schools, and other places. Explore a list of books that have been banned/challenged
The American Library Association has produced a list of banned books with the reasons they were challenged
Booth staff in Library Technology Services has created playlist of trailers from films that were adapted from banned books:
