ACLU Banned Books Presentation

We are pleased to announce that Amy Cannata, Montana ACLU Representative, will visit our campus on Monday, September 26th to present "Too Dangerous for the Big Sky? Banned Books in Montana".
Almost since Montana's beginnings there have been people trying to control what you and I are able to read. The presentation will cover events from the mining's heyday in Butte, through the Sedition Act of World War I and on to modern challenges in schools and public libraries, books have been targeted for being too violent, too insulting, too sexy or just plain dangerous.
The program will be held in Heritage Hall from 12:00-1:00pm. We encourage students, faculty, staff, classes and the general public to join us in this free event. Please feel free to bring a sack lunch. Beverages will be provided by the Weaver Library. All attendees will be given a free copy of the "Too Dangerous for the Big Sky?" poster. For more information, contact: Kirsten Bryson.
