Banned
Books Week
September 27 - October 4, 2008
Banned Books Week is the only national
celebration of the freedom to read. It was launched in 1982 in response
to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools,
bookstores and libraries. More than a thousand books have been challenged
since 1982. The challenges have occurred in every state and in hundreds
of communities. People challenge books that they say are too sexual
or too violent. They object to profanity and slang, and protest against
offensive portrayals of racial or religious groups--or positive portrayals
of homosexuals. Their targets range from books that explore the latest
problems to classic and beloved works of American literature.
