Hey Gators!
Do you think someone else should tell you what you should or shouldn't read? That's what Banned Books Week is all about. Sometimes people find a book in a library that they don't like, and decide that no one should read it. They contact the library and "challenge" the book. If they are successful in getting the book removed, the book has been "banned". The American Library Association feels you have the right to read what you want. Check out some of the challenged or banned books, and some of the reasons behind the challenges in the Banned Books displays in your MGMS Gator Library. Then, take a quiz to see how well you know the issues around the topic of Freedom to Read: http://www.kidspeakonline.org/iq.html
What do YOU think about banning books? How well did you do on the quiz? Tell us what you think by commenting to this post.
