Today, the Huffington Post ran another great slideshow — 10 Graphic Novels and the Shocking Reasons They Frequently Come Under Fire

Programming Librarian, the website of ALA’s Public Programs Office, featured a blog post by OIF Assistant Director Angela Maycock

I Love Libraries continues its week-long series of Banned Books Week feature articles, with Intellectual Freedom Committee chair Julius Jefferson’s, “The Challenge of Living in a Democracy”

Some other great Banned Books Week reads:

The Virginia Beach Public Library Recommends blog will feature banned books all week, starting with The Rabbits’ Wedding (challenged during Jim Crow for advocating miscegenation) and The Satanic Verses.

North Carolina State University enlisted many campus bigwigs to read from their favorite banned books for their excellent “Soundwave” project.

The New York Times Paper Cuts blog covers the role of Twitter in the grassroots “Speak Loudly” response to the recent Missouri challenge to Laurie Halse Anderson’s Speak (Twitterers: remember to follow @OIF and use the #bannedbooksweek hashtag!)
