On the Banning of Looking for Alaska

In which John discusses the American Library Association's recent announcement that his book "Looking for Alaska" was the most challenged book in the U.S. in 2015, responds to those who try to get the book removed from schools and libraries, and discusses the role of teachers and librarians in American life.

You can find the list of the 10 most challenged books in the U.S. here: http://www.ala.org/bbooks/frequentlyc...

Thanks to the American Library Association and the Office for Intellectual Freedom, and to all the courageous librarians and teachers out there who stand up for intellectual freedom and banned books.
