Warning!
During September the library has chosen a selection of books that were banned in different countries. These books are known as “banned books”. 1984 written by George Orwell is a very strong book that expresses very strong feelings. 1984 challenged the autocratic governments of the world and it was banned because of politics. It was banned in USA and Europe. Catching Fire (the second book of The Hunger Games) written by Suzanne Collins was also banned for the same reason as 1984. This book challenged politics and governments around the world. Harry Potter: The Tales of Beedle the Bard and its whole series were banned because of the usage of magic. This book was written by J.K. Rowling and the magic in this book went against the beliefs of some people. Other books banned around the world are Twilight, Watchmen, and The Adventures of Captain Underpants. No library believes in censorship, so the MJF Library is encouraging students to read this banned books. The librarians at EBV want students to read these books because reading equals to more knowledge. Also, it encourages freedom of opinion. So if you see warning signs around these books, you already know why!
