Spotlight on banned books

For the month of November UCD Library turns its focus to books that have banned through the ages by various authorities, governments and civil movements. Increasingly, libraries across the globe are under pressure by different groups to ban certain books and, sadly, with some condonement from authorities. Let's take a look at some of them held in our collection.
