1. Fragrance -- Britney Spears
   A giant cake in shape of her fragrance bottle for Fantasy commemorated the occasion, and young dancers from Broadway Dance Center, where Britney had studied in New York before becoming a top-selling recording artist, helped her celebrate. Dancers competed in a dance-off judged by Britney. Twelve-year-old Marina Micalizzi was the winner.
2. Banned Books
   The title "Banned Books Week" is frequently questioned because many books in the program are not officially banned, but being challenged. (Or they have been challenged in the past) The ALA cites two major reasons for not changing the name. The first has to do with sponsorship of the week.

6. Banned Books -- Libraries
   Banned Books Week is an awareness campaign, led annually by the American Library Association (ALA), in an attempt to protect freedom of speech by celebrating books that the ALA claims others have banned or attempted to ban from various venues. The ALA acknowledges that some books or opinions within books may be unorthodox, but stresses the necessity to have these viewpoints available to the public so individuals can reach their own conclusions on the material.
