Banned Books Week - 9/26 to 10/03/2021 Did you know that some of your favorite childhood and adult books have either been banned or challenged in some places? Who knew Junie B. Jones could cause controversy? What about The Hate U Give? Or, Drama? Or, that in the original Grimm fairy tale, Red Riding Hood took her sick granny a bottle of wine along with those ill-fated flowers she picked? (Admittedly, orange juice might have been a much healthier choice.) Read more about censorship and titles that have caused controversy here.
