Banned Books Week & Open House in the WHS Library



Banned Books Week is September 25th - October 2nd and celebrates the freedom to read. For more information, visit the American Library Association http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/banned/bannedbooksweek/index.cfm
Top Ten Challenged Books in 2009
During Open House on September 28, 2010, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., a PowerPoint presentation celebrating Banned Books Week will run at the Circulation Desk, along with Confidentiality in School Libraries brochures and Net Cetera: Chatting with Kids About Being Online booklets for parents to pick up.




And.....Open House was a success by all accounts.  Parents rotated in three groups to hear faculty presentations in the cafeteria, room 210, and the library.
