Banned Books Week

Sept. 23-30 is Banned Books week. In 1982 the American Library Association began designating this week to honor our ability to read freely. ALA has compiled a list of the most challenged titles over various time periods. Topping the list since 2000 is the Harry Potter series. John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men is also among the most challenged titles.
