Banned Book Week 2009, "Celebrate Your Freedom to Read" is the 28th annual celebration of the freedom to read. The freedom to read and to select from a wide array of possibilities is grounded in the First Amendment where the freedom of speech and freedom of the press is also guaranteed.
Even if well-intentioned, censors try to limit the freedom of others to choose what they "read, speak or hear." The complete list of challenges and the reasons can be found at http://www.ala.org/bbooks.
