Exercise your fREADom to read!

A new library display on the topic of Banned Books has been installed and we invite you to stop by to see it.  The timing coincides with the American Library Association's annual Banned Books Week, and the ALA and we encourage you to celebrate the fREADom to read!  Learn which titles have been most frequently challenged and/or banned in the last decade (including 2012's most challenged titles, the Captain Underpants series), and see which of them you can find right here in Rio Hondo's library. Read some of the arguments used in challenges, and see what some important thinkers have written about censorship.
Above all, Be Subversive: READ!
