Banned Books Week is October 5–11: “Censorship is so 1984. Read for Your Rights.” This year’s theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us, that censorship has no place in contemporary society and that we must defend our rights. Books on display at our library will include materials that have been banned or challenged in libraries, booksellers and schools across the globe. This list is compiled by the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (www.ala.org/bbooks).
Bluffton Public Library will hold its annual Holiday Gift Silent Auction in November, to be held from November 1 through November 26.
This event is a great way for those in the area to find gifts for the holiday season and then to also check out what area businesses have to offer beyond the items up for bid at the library. The event can also be a great way for you to apply those end-of-year tax write offs!
