FREEDOM TO READ WEEK: FEBRUARY 21-27
Banned and/or Challenged Books
For more information on banned or challenged books make sure to check out the websites of
Freedom to Read, the
American Library Association or the
BC Libraries Association. AND stay tuned to LVTV for announcement as the LVR Library will be celebrating 'Freedom to Read Week' by posting a list of banned books and asking the school community to 'star' (*) the challenged and/or banned books that they have read. We're report our findings the following week. So c'mon by and see what types of banned books you have read!
FYI Did you know that the Harry Potter series is still a challenged book in many locations in the United States. Wizardry and witchcraft and all that magic stuff, you know...?
Know of any other banned books and interested in sharing? Drop us an
email. We'll add it to our banned and/or challenged list!
WELCOME TO THE NEW HOME OF THE L.V. ROGERS SECONDARY SCHOOL VIRTUAL LIBRARY AND MEDIA CENTRE!
We are working to make this a much easier website to navigate for all LVR community members. It is a work in progress and we hope to have the finalized version up and fully functional in the new year!
In the meantime, feel free to browse and email any comments or feedback to jyasinchuk@sd8.bc.ca. We really do appreciate staff and student feedback to make this a more user-friendly site.
NOTE: You can also check out updates on new books, emerging technologies, and other cool digital tools by bookmarking our library blog in your favourites. Check it out today!
