Banned Books Week . . .

The celebration of Banned Books Week ends today, and we hope you have enjoyed reading about the few books highlighted this week in the What's new @ CDPL? blog. But why not continue to celebrate the freedom to read? You may be interested in finding out more about banned books. The American Library Association is a good place to start, perhaps with its Issues & Advocacy page. Also check out its Frequently Challenged Books information. For example, did you know that 460 books were challenged in 2009? Here are the top 100 books challenged between 2000-2009.

Don't forget about CDPL's Words Worth Reading blog that can help you find what you want to read.  Or just come in and be sure to ask any library staff member for help!
