Sept 26 - Oct 3 is Banned Book Week... as in Read One, not ban one.Don't be afraid of knowledge. And for heaven's sake, don't teach your kid to be afraid of it.
Ways to celebrate the free circulation of knowledge:
1. READ
2. Discuss what you read with other people.
3. Support your library with a donation. Consider how much money you save every year by patronizing you local library and repay them for their generosity.

Banned Books Week
Many of my favorite books have been banned at one time or another. Although I'm not sure there are any pictures books I want to read to my daughter that have been banned. I'll have to go check out the list. Having worked at a library, I second the "support your libraries" motion. We're constantly in our community library and love having it as a resource.
