Libraries honor freedom to read banned books

Salt Lake Tribune

The Salt Lake County library system recently participated in the 26th annual Banned Books Week, an event sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and a host of other literary organizations.
Banned Books Weeks is somewhat of a misnomer. ALA officials say the event is really about:
* Celebrating our freedom to read.
* Emphasizing the importance of the right to express opinions, no matter how unorthodox or unpopular.
* Ensuring the availability of such views to all who wish to read them. . . . more
