Banned Book Week is upon us!
| |
| |
As an academic library, we are fortunate to serve in an environment that values and celebrates intellectual freedom. All members of our community are able to access any book that suits their curiosity, no matter how unpopular or unorthodox the subject at hand. Do you take this for granted?
Our colleagues in public and school libraries are not always so lucky, and as such are front-line champions and advocates for the rights of their users to read books that have been challenged for a myriad of reasons, from violence to sexuality, and a wide range of "dangerous ideas" in between.
From September 30 through October 6, librarians and staff at the Hannon Library will be joining our colleagues nationwide in celebrating our right to read. We have published a Banned Books resource guide, where you can learn more about the special programming taking place next week, and how you can join us in our outreach and advocacy efforts (and get some Banned Books Week swag in return!).
