Many people do not understand that it is not only books that they do not like that are vulnerable to being banned, but actually many books that they read and treasure. For example, the Bible is one of the most banned books of all time.

Send photos of your displays by October 15, 2009 to Jim Sanderson, IFC Chair, either by mail or email.

Mail: James W. Sanderson; West Avenue Library; 2907 West Avenue; Newport News, VA 23607

E-mail: jsanderson@nngov.com.

Prize: Bragging rights when winner is announced at the VLA Conference in Williamsburg.

Thank you for participating.
