Join us on Thursday, Sept. 29th at noon in the SEC Student Center Auditorium (Rm. 9101) for a celebration of Banned Books Week (September 24 - October 1, 2011.) PIZZA will be served. Learnabout censorship and why books have been banned from libraries.
This is the thirtieth annual celebration of the freedom to read. This freedom, not only to choose what we read, but also to select from a full array of possibilities, is firmly rooted in the First Amendent to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
