This week is Banned Books Week. Banned Books week is an annual event that celebrates freedom to read or the freedom to express one's opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular. Banned Books Week stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. To see a list of books that others have attempted to ban, view The American Library Association's (ALA) list of Frequently Challenged Books. While you are on the ALA website take a look at their list of Banned and Challenged Classics. Chances are that you will find one of your favorites on that list.

Celebrate your freedom to read by selecting a book from a list of banned books available at the Logan Library.

The Logan Library is holding a large book sale on Friday, October 2 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Used books, DVDs, videos, and other items will be available - all for $2.00 or less. Proceeds will benefit the library.

Summer is starting to wind down, and school is starting soon. But you still have time to participate in our Summer Reading Program and win prizes. Our Summer Reading Program runs for two more weeks, through Saturday August 22. We have programs for children, teens, and adults, so everyone can participate.
