During Banned Books Week in the United States, libraries across the country commemorate our freedom to read.

The U.S. Constitution guarantees Americans intellectual freedom.

You can read whatever you want whenever you want, and basically, libraries aren't allowed to rat you out.

Here at the Big House Library, we support your right to read.

So, act out, read a banned book today. :)

P.S. Thanks to Paul Yakovlev, Casa's Video Production Club, Miss Helen, and our library's awesome TAs for their help making this totally wonderful video.

It's Banned Books Week, and we're spreading the word about why banning books is bad. Visit our Banned Books Week page for more information.

This year for Banned Books Week, the Big House Library has enlisted the help of its mighty TA army to promote our freedom to read. They're busy making buttons and movies about why banning books is bad. Check back later this week to see pix and flix of their hard work. :)

Click here to watch our this movie online since the blog post only plays a minute of it.

This week our library will celebrate Banned Books Week. We will be passing out buttons and bookmarks and will have a display of frequently banned and challenged books. I have also uploaded several files for teachers to help them inform our students about this controversial issue. Censorship affects us all; but as a school, as a community, as a society, we can fight it -- and we must! PLEASE VISIT OUR BANNED BOOKS WEEK PAGE for more information and to see how you can help.
