BANNED BOOKS WEEK: CELEBRATING THE FREEDOM TO READ

September 25−October 2, 2010
Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event that reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted. BBW celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. Come see our display of banned books and check one out!

WELCOME BACK STUDENTS!

We are here to help with any school projects or research papers. Visit us at our home page http://www.northbellmorelibrary.org/ for access to many kinds of databases with valuable information and support for your schoolwork, available in the library and from your home computer.
Students who have not yet read the required summer reading book, can still come in to find the books in the Young Adult section. If the book is not on the shelves, a Librarian can request that a copy be brought into the library.
