NEWS FROM THE LIBRARY: The Warrior Library is celebrating Banned Books Week by reminding you of your right to read freely. Today’s final featured book is The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. This beloved story teaches children the importance of caring for the planet and standing up for what’s right. Through the beauty of the Truffula Trees and the dangers of environmental neglect, The Lorax reminds us that even one small seed—or one small child—can make a difference. The Lorax was banned in a California school in 1989 for allegedly portraying the logging industry in a negative light and potentially turning children against it. Additionally, the book has been criticized for its portrayal of consumerism, with the Once-ler representing a greed-driven society focused on consumption without considering the consequences.
