Our Committee, representing member organizations and associations of the Book and Periodical Council, reaffirms its support of this vital principle and opposes all efforts to suppress writing and silence writers. Words and images in their myriad configurations are the substance of free expression.</span></p><p><span>The freedom to choose what we read does not, however, include the freedom to choose for others. We accept that courts alone have the authority to restrict reading material, a prerogative that cannot be delegated or appropriated. Prior restraint demeans individual responsibility; it is anathema to freedom and democracy.</span></p><p><span>As writers, editors, publishers, book manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and librarians, we abhor arbitrary interpretations of the law and other attempts to limit freedom of expression. We recognize court judgments; otherwise, we oppose the detention, seizure, destruction, or banning of books and periodicals – indeed, any effort to deny, repress, or sanitize. Censorship does not protect society; it smothers creativity and precludes open debate of controversial issues.</span></p></div></div> </div> Mon, Feb 01 - Thu, Mar 31 <div style='display:table;'> <div style='display:table-row;'><div style='display:table-cell;'></div></div> <div style='display:table-row;'><div style='display:table-cell;'><p><span>Every time you check out and read an Ivy &amp; Bean Book... enter your name in to win an Ivy &amp; Bean Prize Pack!&nbsp; Draw date at the end of March!</span></p></div></div> </div> Wed, Apr 01 - Thu, Apr 30 <div style='display:table;'> <div style='display:table-row;'><div style='display:table-cell;'></div></div> <div style='display:table-row;'><div style='display:table-cell;'><p><span>Celebrate Poetry all month long!</span></p></div></div> </div> Wed, Feb 24 <div style='display:table;'> <div style='display:table-row;'><div style='display:table-cell;'></div></div> <div style='display:table-row;'><div style='display:table-cell;'><p><span>Help us end Bullying on Feb 24th! </span></p><p><span>Kindness is one Size Fits All!</span></p><p><span>Check out the library display on books, resources and buy your tshirt or buttons at the Cardlock and 'Wear Pink'!!</span></p></div></div> </div> Sun, Feb 14, 01:00 PM - 04:00 PM <div style='display:table;'> <div style='display:table-row;'><div style='display:table-cell;'></div></div> <div style='display:table-row;'><div style='display:table-cell;'><p><span>Join us for specialty coffees, snacks, games around the library and lots of fun!</span></p></div></div> </div> Sun, Jun 14, 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM <div style='display:table;'> <div style='display:table-row;'><div style='display:table-cell;'></div></div> <div style='display:table-row;'><div style='display:table-cell;'><p><span>The Zama Library will have a booth this year at the Annual Ratepayers meeting!&nbsp; Come down and have a burger and see what's happening!</span></p></div></div> </div>
