I think I'm missing Banned Books Week. Sorry! My bad. Go read some banned books, everyone!
I was not organized enough to get any out of the library ahead of time, and I don't actually think I own any of the better known much-banned books, but I'm totally reading them on the street in my mind right now.
Mmmm...wicked.
In my experience, you don't run into many of those book challenges in a medical library, so it's not right at the forefront of our minds.
We did have a copy of Mary Baker Eddy's Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (a faculty donation from years ago) go missing, and I wondered if someone might not have made off with it because they felt it wasn't appropriately science-based, but it could just as easily have been mis-shelved, or maybe someone made off with it because they thought it was awesome.
In any case, there was no formal complaint about it, so I can't cite its disappearance as evidence for anything.
But yeah, that's my harrowing tale. I hope you can all manage to get to sleep tonight.
