Dangerous Books?

What do the books featured on this Holman Library Info Board have in common?  Someone tried to stop people from exercising the right to read them.

The American Library Association sponsors Banned Books Week to remind us of past and ongoing efforts to ban the reading of certain books across the United States.  Librarians work to defend your right to read, guaranteed in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Info board update: The Supremes

August 5th, 2010: The Supreme Court's 112th justice was confirmed by the United States Senate today.  Elena Kagan succeeded retired Justice John Paul Stevens. The President viewed Kagan’s confirmation as:

"…An affirmation of her character and her temperament; her open-mindedness and evenhandedness; her determination to hear all sides of every story and consider all possible arguments."
