BBW!

Banned Books Week is celebrated September 29 through October 6. BBW was created as a way to encourage people to express their freedom to read and enjoy whatever books they like. For more than 25 years, libraries and teachers have stressed the importance of our first amendment freedom to read what we like, even if it's unpopular or unorthodox.

Two teen books that made the Banned Books List are:
* The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things
* Athletic Shorts



Express your freedom this month and read a banned book!
