Books: September 26th - 30th

Banned Book Week was celebrated this week in the United States. The books featured this week had, at one time, been challenged or banned as they were deemed inappropriate for school libraries.

The following novels were promoted on the television screens and are available in the school library:

This true account of a young Jewish girl who hid from the Nazi's during WWII was "too tragic" to read.

This satircal novel was banned because it "centered around negative activity".

This book chronicles one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history.
