This is banned book week, and as a recent graduate of library school, I would be remiss if I didn't point it out, so go read something banned. If you need help finding a book, here is the American Library Association information page. This could be as easy as re-reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Where's Waldo, or Harry Potter, but try to stretch yourself a bit. I have to admit that I have only read about 24 of the 100 most banned books for 1990-2000 on the ALA list. I'm pretty sure that there are a number of books I have read that would be banned, if more people knew about them...
Remember, if you do not use your rights, they are likely to disappear!
