October 5 - 11 is Banned Books Week

Banned Books Week was launched  by the American Library Association in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in libraries, bookstores, and schools. 

Held in the last week of September or first week of October, the annual event highlights the value of free and open access to information and brings together the entire book community — librarians, educators, authors, publishers, booksellers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas.*

Each day, for the remainder of the week, Stuff and Nonsense plans to highlight a book that has been challenged or banned.  

Stay tuned!
