OT: Celebrate Your Freedom to Read September 25–October 2

[bkbroil]

Here's an interesting fact, the American Library Association is designating Sept 25 - October 2 as "Banned Book Week". Do we still have "Banned Books"? Is there "Banned eBooks"? (Harry Potter is banned ?? ) Does anyone have more information on why books are banned?
Thousands of bookstores and libraries nationwide will celebrate the freedom to read during Banned Books Week, September 20-27. They will mark the occasion with displays and readings of books that have been banned or threatened throughout history, from the Bible and “Little Red Riding Hood” to Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men.” Observed since 1982, the annual event is a celebration of the freedom to read and reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted.
