Banned Books Week: Celebrate the Freedom to Read!

Faculty, students, and librarians will celebrate the right to read during Banned Books Week. On Tuesday, September 27, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM we will have a Read Out, reading aloud from books that have been challenged or banned. At 1:00 Rod Smolla, dean of the Law School and 1st Amendment expert, will speak on the 1933 federal court case that ended the U.S. ban on importing James Joyce's Ulysses. At 2:00 Sen. H. Russell Potts, Jr., will speak and entertain questions. Come to Adams Auditorium at 4:00 for a showing of Fahrenheit 451. Come and celebrate our freedom to read!
