The American Library Association is sponsoring a "banned books week" for the end of September 2007. So, I guess the public libraries that are part of the A.L.A. stock up with banned books.

I posted this on a British site www.billybragg.co.uk. I got one interesting response so far. This women, I don't want to post her quote without permission said Mein Kempt in on the shelves, so is Josef Stalin's biography . Who gets to decide whats acceptable and what is not?
The real test of free speech is do we allow what we do not like to be published and made available The last quote is mine
"a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason."
