Banned Books Week Raises Important Censorship Issues

Walt Whitman once said, "The dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book," a view some local libraries have taken to heart. Saturday marked the beginning of the 28th annual Banned Books Week, a program started by the American Library Association aimed at curtailing book censorship nationwide.



Locally, Drinko Library and the Cabell County Public Library are participating in the program although area high schools are abstaining becasue of state testing.
