As Banned Books Week wraps up, we hope you were able to see some of our Banned Books displays at our branches. If you did not, here are some photos from the following Tulare County branches: Visalia, Literacy, Exeter, Lindsay, Strathmore, and Springville.

All the displays look great and bring attention to the issue of intellectual freedom for all and the ongoing issues with censorship. Even though Banned Books Week is almost over, just remember to "Let Books Be".
Did you read any "Banned Books" this week?
