Banned Books Week--Celebrating the Freedom to Read

Celebrate Banned Books Week by visiting your local library and checking out a book that has been banned. At Almaden, we have some banned books on display, and ready to be checked out. At the King Library, on Saturday, October 4th, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM in Rooms 225/229 on the 2nd Floor, Dr. Jim Schmidt will speak on Intellectual Freedom and Amy Sonnie will speak on her challenged book, Revolutionary Voices. Everyone is welcome to attend. The King Library will also have games as well as people reading passages from their favorite banned or challenged books. This event is sponsored by ALASC and LISSTEN. For additional information, contact Heather Devine (408) 536-6046. Banned Books Week this year falls from September 27th to October 4th.
