Last week, I was at the library and noticed my beloved Alice books (by Phyllis Reynold Naylor) out on display for Banned Books Week. I loved the Alice books when I was younger (and honestly, now I want to reread them) but had no idea that they were on the banned books list.
That is the point of Banned Books Week:, I suppose. According to the ALA:
"Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States."
This week, I'll look at three of the books on the list of books that were banned or challenged in 2010-2011 that I read this year. Until tomorrow, here is the list, courtesy of ALA.
