Banning Books In Public Libraries Novels & Stories

I swallowed the tablets with trembling hands, the water tasting strangely metallic. When we returned to the living room, she hesitated. “There’s more.” Of course there was. She spoke carefully. “Your first book… has been removed from stores.” I blinked. “Come again?” “Retailers have pulled it from their shelves. Physical copies and online listings. They said they cannot be associated with the current controversy.” My chest tightened sharply. That book had been my beginning. My voice. My proof that I existed beyond noise. I imagined empty shelves where my words once stood.

She tuned him out completely, eyes fixed on the wall clock, counting down the seconds until she could leave. When he paused for breath, she stood abruptly. The principal blinked, thrown off. “Sit back down, young lady. I’m not finished,” he declared and continued. "As I was saying… you are hereby banned from the library for the remainder of your time at this institution. Permanently. If you must read or need books for your coursework, you will have to rent them privately and use them in your hostel only. No exceptions. Do you understand the severity of this consequence?”

My voice dropped low, I knew something about the book has done so something to her, so I needed to treat her carefully. “Some truths destroy everything around them.” I said, looking deep into her eyes, before I took her hand in mine. The whole place went silent and then I pushed the book away from her and straightened. “You are not allowed in the archives anymore.” Her mouth fell open in disbelief. “You’re banning me?” “Yes.” Her cheeks flushed red. “You’re treating me like a child.” “You are behaving like one.” The words came out colder than I meant and I thought for a moment she might throw the book at me.

Samantha In all my years of owning a publishing company, I've read countless books about taboo themes. From reverse harem, erotica, age gap, incest, mafia romance, dark romance, and all the hardcore topics. I realised that, in New York, people shunned books like these, and they made sure to shut them down before they got to the public eye. I built my company to give people a chance to see through their creative imagination, no matter how dark it is. There are people who actually like reading books like these. They are invested in them too; hence, they need their fix.

Changing personalities from time to time. When I flipped into the other pages, it suddenly vanished just in a snap and when I turned my head up, our strict librarian was already in front of me holding the book I recently read on his right hand. She raised an eyebrows to me and rolled her eyes after. If we're not allowed to read it then they should keep it in the private area. How can they keep such a private book in the public shelves? I made a face and drop off my gaze in the table. I look at the librarian and I saw she placed the book inside the vault near her table. Is it a secret? Why does it needs to be place in the vault where there were so many space in her shelf.

She got up and got down on her knees, making her forehead touch the floor. “Your majesty, please give me access to the library of forbidden books.” An uproar arose among those with us. They were all high ranking officials with years of discipline and experience, but they couldn't control their shock and screams of disapproval. Even her maid looked visibly terrified. I was not an exception. My heart jumped, and not in a good way. The library of forbidden book houses the most evil record of magic arts, malicious techniques and dark sorcery. Why will she request access to such a thing when it can only be used to harm people?

“ .. Pardon me mam.. I was just in a hurry. Kindly issue me this book." She approached the issuing section and reported the name, number and code of book along with the other credentials to the librarian. “Well, sign here." ordered the librarian drifting a pen towards the girl. She hastily signed the paper over there and before she could leave , the librarian spoke once again getting on her nerves... " Since, it is a prohibited book according to your course, so I can only issue it to you for two days. You have to return it back before day after tomorrow. Otherwise , get ready to pay the heavy fine."

That was simply blowing the matter out of proportion, did he think that just because he banned magic in his territory, it will vanish from the world? “ Fine, I get it …” she snapped flinging her arms as she glared at no one in particular. “ He might as well bring Lily to life by some sort of non-magic miracle then,” seriously, he burnt all the books in the library now where was she supposed to find a decent book with a counter curse for dark magic?

Don’t look weak. She stood. “Then from today onward,” she said, “no more reading room. All access to the library will be revoked. I will personally control every book you’re allowed to read.” “Mama, no—” “And,” she continued, ignoring me, “your extracurriculars this week are canceled. You’ll spend your after-school hours copying federal statutes by hand. Your fingers need practice, and your mind needs discipline.” I looked down. My chest burned, not from anger, but from shame. From loss.

Rachel asked, seeing how dusty the book was. "I don't," he replied. "And why is that?" She asked. "The books here are powerful, they were some that can drag the life out of you, there are some that can make the reader run mad, there are some that gives the reader a strange feel, there are some that kills the reader after three days of reading, they are some that can possess the minds of the readers," he explained. "Only the heir is allowed to know which book is which and after my father watched his subject run mad and die mysteriously because they disobeyed his order of opening the book rather than just cleaning it, he shut the library and I did the same," he went on.
