Banned Book Week 2011!


It's that time again, the week set aside to bring attention to the problem of censorship. It is the 'only national celebration of the freedom to read.'

The Banned Book Week website has lots of great information including information about their big project this year, a Virtual Read Out where you can film yourself reading excerpts from your favorite challenged or banned book and upload them to youtube.

Here's one from a reading of The Giver by Lois Lowry




This week I'll be posting articles on banned book week, some of these cool videos, and maybe some of our own?

DFBTA,
