That's really too bad - those are all great books...and a great addition to my personal library. Glad the library is bringing awareness to these.
We should not read banned books, it spreads wrong impression on peoples. Just think that there was something wrong in the book for what it was banned, if we continue reading such books it will misguide us and we may make wrong decisions in some cases.
