Banned Books Week


Did you know that this is banned books week? I'm against banning books.

I feel that I should be free to read whatever I choose and so should you. That being said, I feel that children are to be treasured and protected, so discretion should be used when forming a collection for a children's library or a section for children in a bookstore.

Some titles on the banned books list, might not be my choice to read, but I alone should make that decision. As a matter of fact, as I read down the list of book titles that have been banned, although there are some I choose not to read, there are plenty I've read and enjoyed. So read away; celebrate your Freedom to Read!

How do you feel about banning books?
