  • Banned Books Week, 9/25-10/1 - Read-Out for Banned Books :
    The banning of books continues to be a reality even now. This year the University Library is raising awareness of this type of censorship during Banned Books Week, 9/25-10/1, with noontime readings of banned books on the Schulz ramp. We would like for everyone on campus to get involved by reading a passage from a book, coming to listen to the readings, and encouraging others to participate. If you would like to participate, get your students involved, or get some ideas for banned books to read-out contact Karen Brodsky (karen.brodsky@sonoma.edu) x44240. Let's protect the 1st Amendment.
