As part of Banned Books Week the OIF Blog has posted salutes from various states. The post with New Hampshire's video went up yesterday.

The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger
The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck
To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
The Color Purple, by Alice Walker
