Censorship is an ugly word, especially to libraries. But the subject of book-banning has once again reared its head into the news in recent headlines. As controversial as selectively censoring materials can be, the topic at least stands as a reminder to us all to appreciate free speech and our right to read all available published works without requiring approval from other citizens.
