October Events

Banned Book Week: September 29th - October 6th

    Since 1982, Banned Books Week has been an opportunity for Americans to learn more about how censorship still occurs, explore a wide range of ideas and authors and celebrate our freedom to read. Banned Book Week is an event in which the American Library Association provides information about books that have been banned or have been attempted to be removed from the library.  Examples stem from books such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Of Mice and Men, to recent books such as Harry Potter and works by Toni Morrison.  For a listing of the Top 100 Banned/Challenged Novels of the 20th Century, click here.

In this book, we are given a true and moving portrait of the love and courage of a family. Elizabeth, a member of the "sandwich generation"--people caught in the middle, simultaneously caring of their children and for their aging parents--is the mother of Ave and the daughter of Daddy, and responsible for both.  Hers is the story of a woman's struggle to keep her family whole, to raise here child in a house of laughter and love, and to keep her father from hiding the house keys in his slippers.  A deeply moving and important book for our time, The House on Beartown Road adds an unforgettable chapter to our understanding of life, family ,and Alzheimer's disease.
