Samford University, in Association with the American Library Association
When you hear the term “banned books,” you probably think of contemporary books containing inappropriate content. But books have been banned in societies all over the world for many centuries and for many resons. Books that have been banned include English translations of the Bible, The Diary of Anne Frank, Huckleberry Finn, and To Kill a Mockingbird. The banning of books is a complex political, religious and moral issue. Take some time this week to learn more about it by exploring the links below, and stop by our display on the second floor of Davis Library.
