The Robert R. Muntz Library is joining the American Library Association in celebrating Banned Books Week Monday through Friday, Sept. 23-27. “This year's theme is ‘Let Freedom Read...Read a Banned Book’ and we have a series of activities planned,’’ said Jeanne Pyle, library director. “We invite you to join us by attending one or more of these events and by taking the time to read a banned book.’’ Events began Monday morning with a First Amendment Signing Ceremony at 10 a.m. in the library's second floor lobby. Other events will include: Wednesday - All-day "Read Out" of banned literature on the library's second floor. Volunteer faculty, students, staff and other guests will read selections of their own choosing beginning at 10 a.m. and lasting until the last volunteer has read. Readings are scheduled every 15 minutes. Friday - In
LIB 422 there will be showings of movies based on banned literature
at 10 a.m., noon and 3 p.m.. The movies are being sponsored by 13
