Banned Books Week

Help celebrate this year's Banned Books Week by uploading a YouTube video of you or your students reading a banned book.  In a time where classics are still being removed from shelves, it's important to stand together and support the freedom to read! 

"Librarians, bookstores, and others celebrating the freedom to read from September 21 to October 1 are encouraged to take part in this year's Virtual Read-Out on YouTube. The criteria are simple: create a video that's less than two minutes long of anyone reading a book that's been banned. If you choose to talk about a personal experience battling censorship, then feel free to extend the video to three minutes."

I think I am going to re-read my fave book, Sophie's Choice.  What about you?? Visit SLJ's site to get more information, and start filming.  We'd love to see what you come up with, so feel free to share a link in the comments.
