Banned Books Week Banned Books Week The 10 Most Challenged Books of 2007-2008 The Ten Most Challenged Books of 2008 A book that has been banned is removed from library shelves and/or school systems. Challenging a book is an attempt to remove it. In 1990, according to the banned books website, Ed Morrow, the President of ALA and Harry Hoffman, the President of Walden Book Co. Inc. had this to say about censorship, “Censorship cannot eliminate evil. It can only kill freedom. We believe Americans have the right to buy, stores have the right to sell, authors have the right to write and publishers have the right to publish Constitutionally-protected material.” What is Banned Books Week?

The American Library Association, (ALA), reports that at least 513 books were challenged in 2008. However, they estimate that 70 – 80 percent are unreported. According to the ALA, the ten most challenged books of 2008 are: According to the American Library Association’s website, “Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. After all, intellectual freedom can exist only where the freedom to express oneself and the freedom to choose what opinions and viewpoints to consume are both met.” |
