Talk of Alaska: Banned Books
Tue, October 2, 2007
Posted in Talk of Alaska
Every culture fells threatened by some idea or other, and many cultures ban books. Is it practical to draw lines of censorship in an increasingly multi-cultural world? We invite you to join a conversation about “Banned Book Week.” If banning is not the answer, are there other ways to reflect public disapproval on things like hate speech and slander?

- Deborah Caldwell-Stone, Deputy Director, ALA Intellectual Freedom Office
- Live callers statewide
