If you have turned on your television recently, you have probably seen a lot of debate over books in general – from what should be taught in schools, to particular books being in libraries, to book burnings sponsored by pastors. This week on the program, I discuss research about book bans with Carol Mason, who is University Research Professor at the University of Kentucky and the author of "Reading Appalachia From Left to Right," and Emily Knox, Associate Professor in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the author of "Book Banning in 21st Century America."
