    September 26, 2016

    Dust off your library cards, break out your iPad or Kindle, and read one of the greatest books written by amazing authors. These books push every issue you could imagine, causing them to be on many "banned" book lists. However this is the week to push back and let the Library of Congress know that we mean business and to stop censoring our books.
