"Closing Books Shuts Out Ideas"
Banned Books Week
September 27- October 4, 2008

Banned Books Week 2008 is the 27th annual celebration of the freedom to read. This is freedom, not only to choose what we read, but also to select from a full array of possibilities.

Closing books shuts out ideas, closes possibilities, and limits understanding.
