The last week in September has been deemed Banned Books Week by the American Library Association; because of this, you may see libraries displaying books in their collection that have been challenged or banned in other locations. Local libraries have been showing which books have been banned throughout the week of September 26th. Community Relations Library Assistant of the Door County Library, Morgan Mann, says that with the support of the American Library Association they were able to spread the word about books that patrons may not know are “banned” or challenged

Similarly, Algoma’s library has had its challenged books on display for library-goers. Cathy Kolbeck, director of the Algoma library, says their showing of banned books raises some questions from library patrons.
