Great swap idea!

Thank you. There are some great books on the ALA, and while I don't agree with banning books I think it is important to discuss why they were banned or challanged and to continue reading them.

Thank you to those that have joined this swap. Unfortunately this is going to be the only banned book swap that I am going to - I just don't have the time to keep up with monthly swaps anymore. If someone would like to take over please let me know and I can give you my list of banned books and the address for the ALA website.
