What do Scary Stories, the Gossip Girl series, Kite Runner, The Golden Compass, The Color Purple, To Kill a Mockingbird and the boy wizard Harry Potter all have in common? Yep, they’re all on the list of banned books compiled by the American Library Association. This week, September 26 – October 3, 2009 is Banned Books Week. Celebrating the Freedom to Read is observed during the last week in September every year. This ALA event reminds us to not take this precious democratic freedom for granted.
