Banned Books Display at the Holt Memorial Library in Philipsburg, PA. Books that have been banned and challenged at other libraries and schools are placed in paper bags with labels that look burnt and are set on display shelves on the side of a bookshelf. The books include, "The Giver," by Lois Lowry; "To Kill a Mockingbird," by Harper Lee; "Thirteen Reasons Why," by Jay Asher; "The Kite Runner," by Khaled Hosseini; and "1984," by George Orwell. Censorship is so 1984. Read for your Rights. Holt Memorial Library. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

Did you know that ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ was first published by Secker & Warburg, in the UK, 35 years before the date mentioned the title? It was originally called ‘The Last Man in Europe’
