BANNED BOOKS WEEK

This year the American Library Association-sponsored Banned Books Week runs from September 24 through October 1, emphasizing the "Freedom to Read". Lists of banned and challenged books--and what the objections to them are--can be found on several sites besides the ALA site itself. They include:
