Animal Farm.
Brave New World.
The Diary of Anne Frank.
The Grapes of Wrath.
Uncle Tom's Cabin.
What do all these classic books have in common? You guessed it! At one point or another--every single one of the books, along with many others, were banned. Yup, that's right--BANNED. Now, I know what you're thinking. Who would be monstrous enough to ban such a wonderful thing as books? But, whether it be for political reasons, obscene language, or religious viewpoint, countless novels were stopped from being published and distributed in different countries around the world.
Banned book week starts Sunday, September 21st and last through Saturday, September 27th. Come celebrate banned book week at the Richland Library!
