What’s New at the Library?
Why are books banned in the U.S.? Which books are commonly found on banned book lists? And what can we do to prevent books from being banned and ensure every story is told? Join Sarah Prager as she discusses the history behind book banning in the United States.
This presentation will be eye-opening, educational, and informative. Learn more about this relevant topic and kick off Banned Books Week by standing up for your right to read!
Check out the new items recently added to our Library of Things! We have an outdoor ladder toss game, a second Tonie Box with 10 characters, a new projector, a laser level for any home improvement projects, a pickleball set, and a Nintendo switch lite!
