The Eyeball Records newsletter has this interesting point in their sorta-weekly mailout:

“This week is Banned Books Week. The annual event reminds Americans not to take for granted the precious freedoms of the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United Sates. After centuries of censorship for every conceivable reason, The American Library Association ‘celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one‚Äôs opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them.’ This expression holds true beyond the traditional printed medium and we encourage you to not only enjoy the words but the rest of the sights and sounds associated with free expression.”

- Always a great point worth stressing. My mom was a librarian for nearly 30 years and never strayed from the anti-censorship spirit of the ALA (Hi Mom!).
