[2022]., Pre-adolescent, Alfred A. Knopf Call No: REALISTIC F LEV Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "When Donovan left his copy of The Adventurers on the kitchen counter, he didn't think his mom would read it--much less have a problem with it. It's just an adventure novel about two characters trying to stop an evil genius...right? But soon the entire town is freaking out about whether the book's main characters are gay, Donovan's mom is trying to get the book removed from the school curriculum, and Donovan is caught in the middle. Donovan doesn't really know if the two boys fall in love at the end or not--but he does know this: even if they do, it shouldn't matter. The book should not be banned from school. Interweaving three connected storylines, David Levithan delivers a bold, fun, and timely story about taking action (whether it's against book censors or deadly alligators ...), being brave, and standing up for what's right"--Provided by the publisher.

2020., Adolescent, Iron Circus Comics Call No: GN B KIM Edition: First edition. Availability:2 of 2 At Location(s) Summary Note: When Kim Hyun Sook started college in 1983 she was ready for her world to open up. After acing her exams and sort-of convincing her traditional mother that it was a good idea for a woman to go to college, she looked forward to soaking up the ideas of Western Literature far from the drudgery she was promised at her family's restaurant. But literature class would prove to be just the start of a massive turning point, still focused on reading but with life-or-death stakes she never could have imagined. This was during South Korea's Fifth Republic, a military regime that entrenched its power through censorship, torture, and the murder of protestors. In this charged political climate, with Molotov cocktails flying and fellow students disappearing for hours and returning with bruises, Hyun Sook sought refuge in the comfort of books. When the handsome young editor of the school newspaper invited her to his reading group, she expected to pop into the cafeteria to talk about Moby Dick, Hamlet, and The Scarlet Letter. Instead she found herself hiding in a basement as the youngest member of an underground banned book club. And as Hyun Sook soon discovered, in a totalitarian regime, the delights of discovering great works of illicit literature are quickly overshadowed by fear and violence as the walls close in.

2018., Greenhaven Pub. Call No: 363.31 BAN Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "It may sound shocking, but even in this current age, books are banned all around the globe. But what makes a book inappropriate--even dangerous--for public consumption, and who has the power to deem it so? Some governments ban books as a form of censorship. Even schools can ban books they consider too racy or inappropriate for their students. Does banning books take away our liberties, attempt to erase history, and impose an agenda? Or is the practice actually in our best interests, depending on the circumstance? This balanced volume examines this surprisingly nuanced issue"--From the publisher's web site.

-- Literature & the new culture wars[2022]., W. W. Norton & Co. Call No: 306 APP Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? Our current 'culture wars' have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right--to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled--school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. In [this book], [the author] calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed"--Provided by publisher.
