  Sept. 25 - Oct. 1 is Banned Books Week

  Here is a link to the ALA Banned and Challenged books page.

  banned.htm

  Scroll down and peruse the lists of most challenged authors and 
  books.  Jo is in good company, don't you think?  How many of you 
  recognize titles or authors there?  How many of you were changed by 
  reading their works?  As a pre-teen girl Judy Blume's book "Are You 
  There, God? It's Me, Margaret" made a difference in my life, and has 
  for countless others.  Imagine if you were denied the chance to know 
  about these books?


  To Kill A Mockingbird?!?!?!? What could any one possibly find
  wrong with that book? And the movie still makes me cry every
  time I watch it.
