Banned Books

[Rebecca Geornas <bekka80@HOTMAIL.COM>]

     As a student who has just began her studies a school media specialist,I
want to have a better understanding about where most professianls in our
field feel about banned books.  Are there some books that just do not have a
place on the shelves of a school library?  If this is the case, would this
not be considered censorship and the obstruction of free speech.  I am a
little perplexed- perhaps seeing different opinions on this issue will shed
some light on the matter.
