banned books week — 2 years ago

I work at a public library and I decided to create a display for Banned Books Week in Sept. 06. I used this list, some lists of historically banned books, and the recent annual lists from ALA. I put a label on each book with an description of its particular challenges or bans.

The display was a huge hit! People were shocked that books are ‘still’ banned and challenged, people learned about the situation, people talked about it, and people read the books in huge numbers. Yay!
