In honor of Banned Books Week, we put together Banned Book Display that we will have up all month long! Each week, our cart will move to a new spot in the library so you can stop by and check out a challenged or banned title.

Banned Books Week bring attention and awareness to ongoing attempts of censorship in schools, bookstores, and libraries. Swipe through this post to check out data and insights compiled by the American Library Association on book bans and challenges across the United States.

In the latest episode of Haunting the Fireside, we explore the ghost stories of Colby-Sawyer College.

Founded in 1837, this small college located in New London, New Hampshire, is allegedly the home of many spirits, including--but not limited to--a man in a top hat, a spectral resident that detests closed doors, and a bookish phantom.

Are these legends true; are they mere fiction, generated by creative and imaginative students; or, do they blend fact and fiction, thereby giving them varying degrees of credibility? You decide... 👻
