What if today”s youth had never heard of such classics as To Kill a Mockingbird or Death of a Salesman because they were banned from schools and libraries across America? Fortunately, while some books are challenged or restricted, in a majority of cases, books are not banned, thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, booksellers, and members of the community who advocate on behalf of our First Amendment rights and the power of literature. Celebrate the right to choose books by selecting your favorite challenged titles. Here is a brief list of titles: Alice”s Adventures in Wonderland, Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Grapes of Wrath, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Uncle Tom”s Cabin or check it out online, http://www.banned-books.com/
