Some parts of the world, such as Grapevine and Colleyville, got a huge jump on Banned Books Week by ... well, banning books. They probably don't understand how it works.
Banned Books Week is the time of year when libraries all over the country call attention to and spark discussions about public and government entities like the North Texas school districts that have tried or succeeded in removing books from shelves.
Melissa Dease, the communication and youth service administrator for the Dallas Public Library system, says Banned Book Week isn't just about highlighting books that are on banned lists across the country. The public library's"Books Unite Us" campaign aims to educate people on their rights to read what they choose, especially at public libraries.
