Banned and challenged books week this year is being celebrated from September 24th through October 1st, 2011. The goal is to raise awareness about individuals’ freedom to read. Libraries across the country will showcase books that have been the target of censors, and will highlight First Amendment rights. For more information about Press Kits, events being held across the country, and even mugs, buttons, T-shirts, etc. for sale touting the cause, go to ALA’s Web site:
