Banned Book Reading

Celebrate Your Freedom To Read! 

Join us as faculty, staff, and students read from their favorite banned/challenged book 

at the Banned Book Reading.  

Location: Goodroe Auditorium

Date: Thursday, September 29, 2011

Time: 6:00-8:00 pm  

What are banned/challenged books?
"A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group.  A banning is the removal of those materials.  Challenges do not simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove material from the curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others".  - American Library Association 
Why are certain books banned or challenged?
To learn why certain books have been banned or challenged, go to the Banned Book Libguide at:
