  2. The Difference Between Challenged and Banned Books • A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group.  Due to the commitment of librarians, teachers, parents, students and other concerned citizens, most challenges are unsuccessful and most materials are retained in the school curriculum or library collection. • A banning is the removal of those materials.  http://www.gltech.org/library/AboutBannedChallengedBooks.htm

Remember: Banned Book Week is September 24 – October 1, 2011 “Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment… Imagine how many more books might be challenged—and possibly banned or restricted—if librarians, teachers, and booksellers across the country did not use Banned Books Week each year to teach the importance of our First Amendment rights and the power of literature, and to draw attention to the danger that exists when restraints are imposed on the availability of information in a free society.” http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/banned/bannedbooksweek/index.cfm
