Freedom To Read Week - Banned Book Activity

February 20th to February 26th is Freedom to Read Week!!!

CLA UWO Student Chapter and Librarians Without Borders are partnering together on Feb. 16th and Feb. 17th 2011 for a Banned Book Challenge. From 12-1:30pm today and tomorrow outside of the GRC will be a table of banned books. Come and choose from the selected books which one is not a banned book. Write your guess down and place it in the ballot box. Those who guessed correctly will have their name added into a draw to win a free banned book. The draw will take place on Feb. 18th 2011.
