Banned Book Week Display

Come visit the East Tawas Library and see the special display in honor of Banned Book Week (September 29 - October 6, 2007).

Libraries and bookstores around the country have observed banned book week since 1982. Its purpose is to celebrate the freedom to read. American Library Association President, Loriene Roy, states, "Not every book is right for every reader.... Libraries serve users from a variety of backgrounds - that's why libraries need - and have - such a wide range of materials. Individuals must have the right to choose what materials are suitable for themselves and their families."

Visit the East Tawas Library. You may be surprised to see how many "banned books" you have read and enjoyed over the years.
