Today is the start of Banned Books Week.  All across the country, books are threatened and readers lose out.  Some of the books that have been challenged and removed from library and school shelves may surprise you.

Each day of Banned  Books Week, I will share a video from the Virtual Read Out sponsored by ALA.  You can subscribe to the channel on YouTube for more.

Today’s Virtual Read Out is from one of my favorite books in one of my favorite genres:  The Giver by Lois Lowry.

Would you live in a perfect world (no hunger, no pain, no war, no disease, no conflict) if it meant you gave up the power to choose?
