(LIterally) check out our Banned Books Week display!

We hope you will stop in and take a look at our Banned Books Week display. You will see some books that have become regarded as classics, all of which have been challenged or banned in various American schools or libraries in the past. Celebrate your freedom to read during the American Library Association's Banned Books Week, Sept. 30 - Oct. 6.

Here are some of the formerly banned books that we have on hand. (Note, that they were banned elsewhere!)

 To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee

 The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger

 Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston

 Lady Chatterley's Lover, by D.H. Lawrence
