The main display table in front of the Circ Desk features banned or challenged books. Banned Books Week is next week, September 21-27, but I have put the display up a week early. One week is not enough time to be indignant!
The books have a red band around them that says Banned Books Week – Celebrate the freedom to read. Patrons make take this off whenever they want–the books do not need to be returned with the band.
If anyone is curious to see the reason why a book has been banned or challenged, this information can be found at the American Library Association’s website. Just google banned or challenged books and it will come up.
