Celebrate Banned Books Week @ AFPLS

September 27-October 4 is Banned Books Week for 2008. I usually try to pick a book each year that has been banned and read it for myself during the week to see what all the fuss is about. So rebel and find yourself a banned book to read this week! Here are a few links to help you out:

*Top 10 Most Challenged Books of 2007
*Banned Books Week on Facebook and MySpace

You can check the AFPLS catalog here to see which banned books are available at your local branch.
