Running to the end of June

The Friends of Carnegie Library are delighted to host an exhibition of art by the very talented students of Heron Academy.

The Friends put together an exhibit of books which have been banned at various times and in various places. Copies of the books were gathered from the library's collection and inside each one of them was put a note with background on when and where they have been banned and the sometimes strange reasons given for doing so. This exhibit was inspired by the Banned Books Project @Carnegie Mellon University and the American Library Association's Banned Book Week (just passed).
