Library / Media Center - Banned Books Week

It’s Banned Books Week, Sept. 30 – Oct. 6.  Check out the Media Center web site for lists and information about books that have been banned in certain locations across the country.  What are banned books?  How does a book become banned from a library? 
Did you know that libraries and librarians are here to uphold our individual right to read as part of the first amendment?  At the school library level, books are chosen according to the district Materials Selection policy.  School librarians select books that support our educational curriculum, are developmentally appropriate, represent the diversity of our pluralistic society, and address the reading needs and preferences of our students.
