Banned Books Week exhibit – September 2006-featuring the top 10 banned books from the past year.

Each year, during the last week of September, the American Library Association (ALA) celebrates Banned Books Week. This is an opportunity to see what books have been banned or censored in various communities across the US, and why. This event attempts to educate Americans to preserve the freedom to read what they want without any form of censorship. ALA keeps a tally of books being challenged or banned and why. ZSR Library places an exhibit up each year in support of Banned Books Week.
