Banned Books Week celebrates the Freedom to Read!!
Sometimes individuals or groups will challenge a book. This is an attempt to remove material from the curriculum or library. If the challenge is successful, then the book or text is banned, thereby restricting its access to others. The point of Banned Books Week, September 27th - October 3rd, is to increase awareness of this problem so people take notice when it happens.
The RFMS Media Center joined hundreds of libraries around the country in drawing attention to the problem of censorship. Each blacked-out page on our interactive bulletin board is from a book that has been challenged or banned in the U.S during the past 10 years. Students were challenged with identifying the titles of the banned books.
