Next week is Banned Books Week. At Allerton Library, we have a small display in the Teen section set up for people to learn about banned and challenged books, and to see a few examples. I have covered the books in brown paper, in hopes that they will catch people's eyes more. Most of the books in the display are for teens, but there are a couple over there for kids--and one is a picture book!
If you are interested in learning more about Banned Books Week, I encourage you to check out these websites:
