 Hi Everyone,Banned Books Week will be observed September 27-October 3, 2015 with AASL’s Banned Websites Awareness Day occurring on Wednesday, Sept. 30.  Are you ready? Have you made plans to celebrate the freedom to read and search online?Here’s a link to my KQ Blog with resources for Banned Books Week.  http://knowledgequest.aasl.org/ready-banned-books-week/There have been two recent KQ blogs about filtering, web policies, and Banned Websites Awareness Day. The first is by Floyd Pentlin from Missouri and can be found at http://knowledgequest.aasl.org/banned-web-sites-policies-date/ The second is from the AASL Banned Websites Awareness Day Committee and at  http://knowledgequest.aasl.org/bwad15/Yesterday there was a blog about the latest issue of Knowledge Quest; it’s an intellectual freedom-themed issue with two articles by school librarians, a superintendent, and a school board member who faced and worked through book challenges. The author of the report “Fencing Out Knowledge: Impacts of the CIPA 10 Years Later” also describes the report for KQ readers. Check out this blog with the bonus of  links to 3 online exclusive KQ articles at http://knowledgequest.aasl.org/renew-support-intellectual-freedom-septoct-2015-issue/If you subscribe to AASL’s KQ Blog, you will have seen these blogs posted over the past two weeks. If you have not as yet subscribed to the KQ Blog, I urge you to do so. Nearly every day, there’s practical and thoughtful posts  sharing information you can use. Check out the KQ Blog and sign up for email alerts when new blogs are posted and their direct link.Helen Adams
