In 2006, a school board member in Illinois challenged several titles, including Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner and The Botany of Desire: A Plant's Eye View of the World by Michael Pollan, because these books clashed with her beliefs.
The Sullivan University library has both of these titles at the library. Stop by and talk with one of the librarians if you want to borrow one of these books, and stay tuned to the library's blog the next two weeks for more information about banned and challenged books.
