The Most POPULAR Banned/Challenged Books in the Library
The library celebrated FREEDOM TO READ week in Canada with our own list of banned and/or challenged books. Staff and students indicated which books that have read in our informal poll. Click HERE for a list of the most popular banned and/or challenged books in the library! For more information on banned books and censorship in Canada make sure you visit freedomtoread.ca for a history of bannings and burnings and the legal right to ban or censor what Canadians read and write. Feel free to drop by the library and pickup a copy of one of these titles and figure out why they have ruffled someone's feathers in the first place.
