"Don't join the book burners. Don't think you are going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go into your library and read every book."
- Dwight Eisenhower

February 24 to March 2, 2002 is Freedom to Read week in Canada. The Blind River Public Library will be presenting a selection of previously banned books for your reading enjoyment.
