Freedom to Read Week - February 24 - March 2

2/7/2019

Did you know that Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and Twilight are all books that have been pulled off library shelves and deemed inappropriate for young readers. Freedom to Read Week brings to light these issues of censorship. It highlights the importance of free speech, free expression and how censorship affects us all. Drop by the LLC to see the Banned Book display and sign out a book that has been pulled off some library shelves...fight for your freedom to read what you choose!
