Tutt Library Celebrates Banned Books Week

Tutt Library is celebrating Banned Books Week and intellectual freedom during Block 2.  Come check out a banned book from our display in the lobby of Tutt!  Libraries across the country help safeguard the free and open exchange of information and ideas.

“If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable.”  -Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan, Jr.
