‘Bad for You! Celebrating Banned Books Week’

The New York Public Library is inviting children to do something revolutionary: read a book. They can find out why it’s rebellious at this event, at which Kevin C. Pyle and Scott Cunningham will read from “Bad for You: Exposing the War on Fun” (Henry Holt) a docu-comic on the history of censorship. Honoring Banned Books Week, the celebration will explore why people used to burn comic books and why some places still want to keep kids away from Harry Potter.
