9 Banned Books That Your Child Should Be Reading

Banned Books Week is typically the last week of September.  It was started in 1982, by First Amendment activist Judith Krug, as a way to keep written material publicly available so people can develop their own opinions and conclusions.  As a way to bring attention to this week, I thought I would compile a list of some of the books that have been banned by school libraries in recent years.  These are books that, as adolescents, many of us read ourselves.
