 Banned Books Week 2011 is the thirty annual celebration of the freedom to read. This freedom, not only to choose what we read, but also to be able to select from a full array of possibilities, is firmly rooted in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of press. Although we enjoy an increasing quantity and availability of information and reading material, we must remain vigilant to ensure that access to this material is preserved; would-be censors, who continue to threaten the freedom to read, come from all quarters and from all political persuasions. Even if their motivations for restrictions are well intentioned, censors try to limit the freedom of others to choose what they read, see, or hear.
This bibliography represents books challenged, restricted, removed, or banned in 2010-2011 as reported in the Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom from May 2010 through May 2011.
