A talented group of actors from City Lit Theatre Company in Chicago performed dramatic readings from the Top 10 Banned Books of 2010 at the Oak Park Public Library Tuesday night. Topping the list compiled by the American Library Association was a book based on a real story of two penguins in a zoo.

ALA has been celebrating the freedom to read by hosting Banned Books Week for 30 years. Patrons and staff at the Library have been getting their photos taken with their favorite banned book all week. You can see these photos at www.ireadbannedbooks.tumblr.com.
