My wonderful library intern, Amy, has created a bulletin board and book  display for Banned Book Week (September 26 – October 3, 2009).  If you aren’t familiar with BBW, it is a time to bring awareness to everyone’s, even childrens, freedom to read.   Our bulletin board shows just a few of the books our library carries that have been challenged in the United States within the last two years. Why not take some time to read a couple?

Up next is Teen Read Week – “Read Beyond Reality @ Your Library” – look for more details in the weeks ahead.

    Thanks for sharing this with me. We hung ours on a big brick column and put book covers all around it. I will HAVE to snap a photo and blog a more formal public thanks for sharing it. My principal, curriculum coordinator, and 2 English teachers thought it was an awesome (but not in your face) way to highlight the topic and the books.
