This Month's Book Display:
Big Books
|
Tuesday, December 21st will be the Winter Solstice, and how better to celebrate the longest night of the year than with an equally long book?
This month the library is displaying some of the "chonkiest" books in our collection, including fiction and non-fiction of at least 500 pages or more. These hefty tomes are quite an undertaking but will give you a huge sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when you reach that final page.
So give yourself a challenge over the holiday break and check out a Big Book!

Special Topic:
Intellectual Freedom and Censorship
|
Every September, libraries across the country, including our own, celebrate Banned Books Week, an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Many times people are surprised to find out just how prevalent attempts to ban books from libraries, schools, and bookstores are. However, in the past few months, these challenges have increased dramatically, and it's hard to miss the almost daily headlines about new ban attempts.
In response, the RHEC Library would like to reaffirm its commitment to the Library Bill of Rights, Intellectual Freedom, and the freedom to read. Free access to information and the ability to communicate freely is essential to our democracy and for maintaining a free society. We urge the RHEC community to resist censorship, support librarians and educators, and celebrate your own right to read.
