Celebrate Banned Books

In celebration of Banned Books Week (Sept 23-30) read a banned book.


Google Book Search and the American Library Association have teamed up to offer searchable indices and library links to banned books
To Kill a Mockingbird. Of Mice and Men. The Great Gatsby. 1984. It's hard to imagine a world without these extraordinary literary classics, but every year there are hundreds of attempts to remove great books from libraries and schools. In fact, according to the American Library Association, 42 of 100 books recognized by the Radcliffe Publishing Course as the best novels of the 20th century have been challenged or banned.
