Banned Books in the Library?!

Banned Books Week
September 29-October 6, 2007
Free People Read Freely ®

"Intellectual Freedom is the right of every individual to both seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction. It provides for free access to all expressions of ideas through which any and all sides of a question, cause or movement may be explored. Intellectual freedom encompasses the freedom to hold, receive and disseminate ideas." -- www.ala.org (Intellectual Freedom and Censorship Q & A)

Chabot Library will once again mark Banned Books week with a DISPLAY in the library of books that have been challenged over the years. For lots of information on this important issue go to www.ala.org

Stop by for a copy of the list: "The 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000"

"The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) received a total of 546 challenges last year. A challenge is defined as a formal, written complaint, filed with a library or school, requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness. Public libraries, schools and school libraries report the majority of challenges to OIF.

'The number of challenges reflects only incidents reported,' said Judith F. Krug, director of the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom."

Before You Reach for Your Credit Card . . .

it is time to come to the Library Tuesday, September 18, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. to see the Frontline Documentary, "The Secret History of the Credit Card."

Have you been paying attention to your spending? Have you thought much about any finance charges or late fees you have spent? Eager to buy your family expensive Christmas gifts or buy that new style Ipod for yourself? Before you do, it is best to understand how it all works.

In addition to viewing the film and discussion, dinner will be served and librarian, Kim Morrison, will be teaching you how to find more information about credit cards and particular credit card companies and to get your own free credit report.

Space is limited! So be sure to sign up for this event, AHEAD OF TIME, in room 2325, the Aspire Office, in building 2300 (above the cafeteria). For more information go to: http://tinyurl.com/yrzpl2
