It's Banned Book Week. Get it? Forbidden, not allowed, outlawed, prohibited.
Except not here, and you probably know that already. Instead, we're celebrated the freedom to read by placing a selection of books that have been banned on display so you can choose one for yourself and take it home and read it. This year the focus at our library is on works of recent fiction - in past years we have highlighted banned children's books, banned works now considered literary classics, or works that regularly appear on course lists.
Officially, the headquarters of Banned Book Week are highlighting graphic novels (what used to be called comic books.) Did you know we have a big collection of those too? Please come in and sample some forbidden fruit.
Privacy guaranteed. Celebrate your freedom to read this week!
