<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: medium;">Think you know? If you said they have all been challenged or censored,
you would be correct. Each of the titles
above (and more) are books we have in our library that have been challenged and,
in some cases, removed from schools and libraries across the United States.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: medium;">Each year, during the
month of September leading up to Banned Books Week, our library displays these
books and the reasons they have been challenged. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: medium;">Banned Books Week is an
annual event celebrating the freedom to read and highlighting the value of free
and open access to information. Additionally, the week spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and
schools.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: medium;">Unfortunately, challenges
are on the rise. Each year, the Office
of Intellectual Freedom tracks and collects information regarding book
challenges. You can go <a href="https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10/archive" target="_blank">here</a> to see a list of the top ten books challenged each
year and the number of total known challenges made. You can also view the picture below to see some statistics regarding challenges. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKs1t5Swj0RfHhqIETDBMbDH1XACpXyIB-uBYuciA-6tvPD-6O5ekfOAwoeNzeNo2ijAKIO8MC60nodmXpKBiY9U5b74cHElvGt-qf1FXRCyV1BzRpJSwGCICVxkH5hir6m6iz8SG1LiaS3xYOZHr5C891SWP9yBrN1bKubx9d0mPw3XJuXPslo7ouzZM/s1041/Web%20capture_27-9-2023_14726_.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1041" data-original-width="776" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKs1t5Swj0RfHhqIETDBMbDH1XACpXyIB-uBYuciA-6tvPD-6O5ekfOAwoeNzeNo2ijAKIO8MC60nodmXpKBiY9U5b74cHElvGt-qf1FXRCyV1BzRpJSwGCICVxkH5hir6m6iz8SG1LiaS3xYOZHr5C891SWP9yBrN1bKubx9d0mPw3XJuXPslo7ouzZM/w478-h640/Web%20capture_27-9-2023_14726_.jpeg" width="478" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: medium;">It remains as important as ever that we protect our right to free access to information in both our public libraries and our public school libraries. Not every adult can afford to buy books from a book store or Amazon and not every child has a parent who is able to drive them to a public library during business hours.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: medium;">This year, Banned Book Week
will be officially celebrated from Oct. 1 – 7.</span></p></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54490/71/32C933882592B1F2977ADC506077FD76.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0px;" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5204007415399196832.post-62210759647415430352023-09-25T10:51:00.001-06:002023-09-25T11:32:28.834-06:00PT Conference Night Winners<div><span style="font-size: x-large;">S</span><span style="font-size: medium;">tudents and parents who stopped by to visit the library on Parent-Teacher Conference night were able to enter a drawing for a door prize.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Our parent winner was Randi Phillips, mom of seventh-grader Hadley Phillips.
