Banned Books Week: October 4-10

📚 The reasons might not be what you expect. 👀

Books have been challenged or restricted in schools and libraries for all kinds of reasons — and sometimes the stories behind those challenges are surprising.

▶️ Watch the video to learn more.

📖 Explore the Banned Books Week display on the main floor.

2nd Floor Project Update


It. Is. Finished! Really!! 

Second floor collections have been shifted and managed. The only thing left is removal of the short stack of shelving near the study room. Fingers crossed that they will be gone by the start of the term. 

We will have additional room for working at the cafe tables and using the mobile whiteboards. WOW! Can't wait for you to see the changes.
