http://nivercreeklmc.edublogs.org to promote great books at Niver Creek's Library Wed, 02 Dec 2009 19:19:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 http://nivercreeklmc.edublogs.org/2008/09/10/banned-books-week/ http://nivercreeklmc.edublogs.org/2008/09/10/banned-books-week/#comments Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:06:20 +0000 Tricia LaRue http://nivercreeklmc.edublogs.org/?p=10      Banned Book Week will be celebrated across the country September 27-October 4. Sometimes people will try to tell you what you can and can't read. In this library, I try to purchase a variety of books and not censor materials...unless it is obviously inappropriate for this age group.

     It is amazing what books have been challenged or banned in the last 15-20 years. I've posted a sign of all of those books that we have in the library. Even The Giver, a book I showed many classes during library orientation, has been challenged. 

     American Library Association's (ALA) Banned Book Week: Celebrate the Freedom to Read has been observed since 1982 to remind American's not to take ther democratic freedom for granted. If interested on more information, here's that website: www.ala.org/bbooks
