Expose yourself to controversy and celebrate Banned Books WeekAs negotiators and mediators know from experience, knowledge and information are power. That’s true for all of the negotiations in life we face — the political, the transactional, and the personal.

What better way to celebrate access to information than by honoring Banned Books Week, which celebrates the freedom to read, and is sponsored by the American Library Association?

Curious to learn what books have been challenged or banned here in the U.S.? The Forbidden Library lists some of the titles.

Banned Books Week events take place this year from September 27 through October 4.  Join the celebration of intellectual freedom.
