Welcome to Banned Books Week!

This week the Library’s blog posts will be devoted to the freedom to read as we celebrate all types of literary work during Banned Books Week, which begins today. The American Library Association’s Office of Intellectual Freedom established this annual event in 1982 in response to the fact that thousands of books are banned or challenged every year. Faculty and staff of the law school were asked to write a short tribute to their favorite banned book; we plan to publish the tributes all week.
