Celebrate Banned Books Week
Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to read! Each library has on display books that have been banned or challenged for one reason or another.
What's the difference? A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials. Challenges do not simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove material from the curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others.

American Library Associations website.
