Such a fan - and I am shocked to learn that many of my high school juniors have no idea that (1) the books are banned and (2) banned books is a real thing. <br /><br />It still shocks me - until we talk about it and I have to educate them. But isn't that why we have school librarians as well?

I keep seeing so many posts on it for Banned Book Week so I'm much more inclined to pick it up sooner rather than later.
