The 25th anniversary of Banned Books Week:
September 23-30, 2006

The American Library Association has information about the most frequently challenged books and authors, as well as an opportunity vote for your favorite banned book.

Google celebrates your freedom to read with a page dedicated to the 25th anniversary and Wikipedia has a list of books plus examples of banning around the world.

"All of us can think of a book... that we hope none of our children or any other children have taken off the shelf. But if I have the right to remove that book from the shelf - that work I abhor - then you also have exactly the same right and so does everyone else. And then we have no books left on the shelf for any of us." ~ Katherine Paterson, author of Bridge to Terabithia
