Mitchell Muncy from the Institute for American Values argues that Banned Book Week is an overblown event because books in this country are not banned by any government agency and are therefore almost always accessible. Also petitioners who initiate a challenge to a book title lose their case nearly six times out of seven according to the American Libraries Association.

Do you believe Banned Books Week and reactions to local challenges are overhyped when the reality is that access to books is almost universal via multiple library systems and online book sellers like Amazon?
