BoazGet Booked!We will be celebrating Banned Books Week with a Get Booked theme. The teachers will begin the week showing short videos to each class explaining the history of banned books, most challenged books, etc. Language Arts teachers will also begin raising money for "bail" due to the fact that they will be "arrested" on September 24th for reading banned books. The library will display a bulletin board with posters of the teachers hiding and reading a variety of banned books. A search warrant will also be displayed. Then the teachers will be arrested and will be reading banned books all day long at various places in the school (ex. lunchroom, hall, gym). The teacher who raises the most "bail" money will be released and will have a celebration in the library with his/her classes the following Friday. The other teachers will be placed on "schoolhouse arrest" and will be confined to their classroom with their students. The library will host a celebration party with food from banned books, such as Butter Beer from Harry Potter and cupcakes from Alice in Wonderland. The "bail" money will cover the expenses of the party, and it will also be used to purchase books for the library.9-24-14Sardis High School1420 Church St.Boaz, AL 35956Display: YesEvent: YesTara email@example.com

BerkeleyBirds Do It, Bees Do It: A Century of Sex (Mis)Education in the United StatesFrom junior high school hygiene films, websites, public health campaigns, scientific studies, children's books, bodice-ripper novels and (sometimes) parents, Americans have always found ways to learn about sex. That information has at times been incorrect or incomplete, and has rarely been delivered without a larger political or moral agenda. While attitudes towards sex education swing from the blissfulness of ignorance to the empowerment of liberation — and back again — every generation finds new ways to answer the old questions. The message and the media have changed over the decades, but our desire to learn about desire has not. This exhibition explores the many ways Americans have employed over the last century to teach and learn about sex. It draws from the resources of campus libraries, from our academic programs and from social services provided for the Berkeley campus community. Many of the items selected for display have appeared on banned book lists; these are noted with a Banned Book graphic.September 8, 2014 – February 28, 2015University of California, BerkeleyBerkeley, CA 94720Display: YesEvent: YesMargaret Phillips(510) firstname.lastname@example.com

OaklandPrecious Knowledge film screening and discussionJoin us for a screening of the documentary Precious Knowledge: Arizona's battle over Ethnic Studies and a talk with Dr Naomi Helena Quiñonez to celebrate Banned Book Week and Hispanic Heritage Month. "Precious Knowledge illustrates what motivates Tucson High School students and teachers to form the front line of an epic civil rights battle. While 48 percent of Mexican-American students currently drop out of high school, Tucson High's Mexican American Studies Program has become a national model of educational success, with 93 percent of enrolled students gradationg from high school. However, Arizona lawmakers are trying to shut the program down because they believe the students are being indoctrinated with dangerous ideology and embracing destructive ethnic chauvinism." Dr. Quiñonez is a poet, educator, and scholar of Chicana/Latina studies currently on faculty at San Francisco State University. She founded Librotraficante Bay Area which is active in creating awareness about book banning and the importance of ethnic studies in the U.S.A.9/23/14Cesar E.

ChicagoBanned Books Week DisplayWe have had a banned books display for the month of September every year for the last 17 years. The display table we use can easily fit 100 plus titles. We put bookmarks inside of each of them that highlight some of the challenges that each book has undergone, or where and when they were banned. It never fails to provoke discussions with our customers. I consider it our most important annual display. I am also happy to report that it sells the books extremely well. So people are reading challenged or banned books as a result. This summer, I was gratified when an international tourist walked in with a photo of last year's display that someone had snapped and e-mailed to her. She showed it to me and asked for the display. It was the reason she had made us a stop on her visit to Chicago. I had to inform her that, sadly, it was the wrong time of year. I did show her the resource guide from ALA and showed her where to find Banned Books information on their website.8/27/14-9/28/14after-words bookstore23 E.

Esme Codell, Beatriz Badikian-Gartler, Kathleen Larkin, Deirdre Harrison, and several high school students will read passages from masterpieces such as To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss, and Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. Some of the readings will be accompanied by live music. Free and open to the public. From the America Library Association website: "Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it highlights the value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community –- librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types –- in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular." This Banned Books Week Event is part of the Ninth Annual Chicago Calling Arts Festival and Chicago Artists Month. Chicago Calling is a multi-arts collaboration festival; during the Seventh Annual Chicago Calling Arts Festival people in Chicago work with people outside of Chicago -- both here in the U.S. and abroad. These collaborations include a range of art forms, such as music, dance, film, literature, and intermedia -- and they are prepared or improvised. Some Chicago Calling events involve live feeds between Chicago and other locations. The 19th Annual Chicago Artists Month highlights the work of hundreds of artists throughout Chicago with performances, exhibitions, open studios, tours and neighborhood art walks. September 27 – October 31, 2014, Chicago Artists Month (CAM) will invite residents and visitors to meet artists and see their work at venues across Chicago. The 2014 theme, "Crossing Borders," showcases 20 featured programs and artists in neighborhoods ranging from Avondale to Andersonville, Lakeview to Little Village, West Town to Wicker Park and Lawndale to the Loop. CAM is presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events in collaboration with the Chicago Park District and numerous community partners.September 26City Lit Books2523 N.

AztecCelebrate the Freedom to Read Banned BooksThe Aztec High School Library Celebrate the Freedom to Read Banned Books event features online library website information for students to pursue any inquiry individually. The library hosts a display that allows students to interact by placing a colored circle dot on the banned books they have read. Parents and any visitor to the library may also do this. Principals wear "I read banned books buttons." Some teachers have requested instructional time from the librarian to present indepth information on issues of challenged and banned books. Students receive instruction on what the issues are regarding the how and why books are banned. Students indicate on a printed list how many books they have read that were banned. A question and answer session is available for students to exchange information and gain a better understanding of the issues involved in banning books. AP English students will receive differentiated instruction in the history of banning books and participate in a lesson that involves the AP English students selecting a book for the school library. The books selected are purchased by the librarian and students then read the books they have suggested and report on issues they view as possible reasons their book may be censored or banned and why they think students have the right to access the book and read it to make their own decision about the book's value. Important author questions are asked and answered such as "What is the problem in the story and how is it solved?," "How would you have acted differently than a character in this story?," and "Predict what would happen next if the story had continued." Pictures of students engaged in the banned books activities will be added to the library web site. The AP English students have participated in the banned books lesson for four years adding to the richness of the library collection. Book plates indicate the book selected by the student in the lesson on banned books.9-22-14--10-20Aztec High School Library, Aztec, New Mexico500 East ChacoAztec, NM 87410Display: YesEvent: YesLaurie Treat, Librarian505 334-9414, ext. email@example.com

We shredded a weeded "To kill a mockingbird" and placed it in a jar. Patrons were to examine the contents of the jar and figure out which book was in the jar. Patrons would enter by writing their name and the title of the book on an entry form and drop in a box.. At the end of the week a winner was drawn from the patrons that guessed correctly.

PortlandCafe Banned Presents...To Cut or Not to Cut: A Conversation About CensorshipRecent efforts to remove the n-word in literature—from a recent edition of Mark Twain's Huck Finn in which the word is changed to "slave", to the attempt to halt a high school production of August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone because of its "offensive" language—raise questions about censorship. Is censorship ever a good thing? Should accommodations be made considering the difference between a character's and author's point of view? Reed College professor Pancho Savery will facilitate a discussion that examines these questions, as well as their importance beyond conversations about literature. Savery's program is made possible by funding from Oregon Humanities, which connects Oregonians to ideas that change lives and transform communities.9/27/2014Multnomah County Library, Central Library801 SW 10th AvenuePortland, OR 97205Display: YesEvent: firstname.lastname@example.com

DallasFighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book BurningsFighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings is a traveling exhibition produced by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, on display at the Dallas Holocaust Museum/Center for Education and Tolerance during Banned Books Week. On the night of May 10, 1933, more than 25,000 books were burned across Nazi Germany. Most of the book burnings occurred in cities with universities--Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt and 31 others. On the pyres were titles considered to be "un-German." Books authored by Communists, Socialists, Liberals, Pacifists, Jews and anyone disliked by the regime, were burned. Before the first match was struck, news of the pending censorship caught wind and spread. Voices rose in opposition. In America, it was as if freedom itself was to be burned to ash. The Nazi book burnings were viewed as the deepest affront to liberty--authors whose books would be burned including Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, Sinclair Lewis and many others were vocal in their opposition. Americans quickly condemned the events as hostile to the spirit of democracy and the freedom of expression. Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings explores how the book burnings became a potent symbol in America's battle against Nazism and why they continue to resonate with the public—in film, literature, and political discourse—to this day.September 2 - October 15Dallas Holocaust Museum/Center for Education and Tolerance211 N.

Usually held during the last week of September, it highlights the value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. Books have been banned and challenged (a request for banning) all over the world since the written word has existed. The First Amendment to our Constitution ensures your right to read what you want. We celebrate this wonderful freedom by reading banned and challenged books during National Banned Book Week at our library. This year, we're offering Banned Book Mug Shots, so you can get your picture taken with your favorite Banned or Challenged Book!
