This year's display! I've fallen in love with removable labels from DEMCO. The top is the adult display; each book has a label with a bright red slash/circle (what are those things called?) with some of the reasons the book was challenged or banned. This is the question we get asked the most—particularly when someone finds a classic or a beloved book. I got all of that information from the ALA website and the 2007 Banned Books Week Sourcebook. The close-up is LOTR which was burned with many other books for being "satanic".
This year I kept the YA display separate, to encourage people to browse the books with the intent to check them out (which I think is easier when they're browsing their reading level). For the teen books I went for a more provocative "Are you brave enough to read a banned book?" and a modification of the message from last year.
So, are you brave enough to read a banned book?
