Stop by the Harnish Main Branch during Banned Books Week and guess which shredded book is in our jar for a chance to win a Barnes & Noble gift card.

Banned Books Week is the annual celebration of the freedom to read.

Don't worry, the only book harmed in this process was withdrawn from our collection due to damage, not content.
