2010 Banned Book Week Display

Banned Book Week (September 25th through October 2) reminds us all not to take our freedom to read books of our own choosing, for granted.

Celebrate your freedom to read by visiting the East Tawas Library.

New this year, to the East Tawas Library's annual display, are 5 books that list and explain the reasons behind various book challenges and bannings. Also on display are a sampling of the many books people have complained about over the years. These complaints came from a variety of states (including Michigan) and countries around the world. They range in date from 1931 to 2010.

The American Library Association's web site features a calendar of banned book week Library and Bookstore Events 2010. The East Tawas Library is one of seven Michigan entries on the list.
