Banned Books Week: Day #5

Banned Books Week is coming to a close, and I hope you learned a little bit about what it means.  

Banned Books should be up to the individual (or their family) to decide what is appropriate.  Libraries don't want to censor materials--because there are a lot of people we have to cater to, and we want everyone to be happy and have books they want to read.

The worst thing about censorship is... #bannedbooks #bannedbooksweek:  
This meme is pretty spot on.  Censorship hurts literature, and those who read it.  We can't always get good information if materials are censored.  Make up your own mind. Stand up for literature. 

I really like this poem that was made using book titles and themes from banned books.  The books just want to be let back in to play with their friends!
