Call for Readers for Banned Book Event in Library

banned
The annual celebration of our freedom to read is nearly upon us.  In the spirit of the season, the Shoreline Community College Library is preparing to host several events in support of the joy of the written word. You’re brave enough to flash(mob)dance, but what about doing the verbal boogie for intellectual freedom?

We’re looking for readers from our community to share a small passage from their favorite banned or challenged book. If we can get a representative group, we’re hoping to schedule an event Thurs., Oct. 1 here in the 4000 Building. Don’t worry, no reading aloud will take place in the Sanctuary, but we’re hoping to push folks out of their comfort zones just about everywhere else.

If you’re interested – or have “a friend” that might be interested – please contact Chris Matz no later than close of business Tues., Sept. 29 at cmatz@shoreline.edu or x4558. No questions asked, of course.

And somewhat more seriously, thanks for your support in turning our students and colleagues (back) on to reading.  It’s powerful stuff.
