Banned Books

It's that time of year again to celebrate our right to read during BANNED BOOKS WEEK
This year we made a prison. The bars are made from twisted up streamers.

Side of the display has an explanation about what a banned or challenged book is. Info taken from the ALA website. The cute graphic is taken from here. And the stats on most banned books is an image from The Huffington Post/ ALA.

Front view of display

Close up view of front. Find the 2014 banned book display here.
Sign used on the top is from ALA 2013 materials. I also added a guide book to the open bottom shelf
so that patrons & staff can look up when/where/why on the challenged books.
