in American Libraries Direct Banned Books Week
"Chad, Rustle, and Mooch, the Crash Pad puppets, misinterpret the meaning of Banned Books Week, trying to throw some books with objectionable content--including Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, The Joy of Cooking, and the phone book--out of the library, until Herb points out the error of their ways."

Banned Books Week
Banned Books Week is September 26 - October 3 and we've already put out our book display! Banned Books Week 2009 is the twenty-eighth annual celebration of the freedom to read. The books we selected represent a small number of books that have been challenged over the years for a variety of reasons. The primary categories of objection are sex, profanity and racism. A map has been created at http://bannedbooksweek.org/ illustrating where books have been challenged from 2007-2009. You may view the map here. Take some time to celebrate your freedom to read and check out a banned book!
