Melissa Hubbard, the main organizer of Morris Library's Banned Book Reading and her co-conspirator, Megan Lotts, had the misfortune of choosing the afternoon of Thursday, September 29 for the event. I call this a misfortune because they may lose some people to the Chancellor's State of the University Address. They scheduled and announced the reading before the address had been announced.
I will be one of the readers. The book that I have selected is one that a patron called the "naughty book" when I helped him access it in the library. One librarian told me that she considered reading from it but didn't "have the balls" to do it.
Are you intrigued yet? If so, come to the reading in the library rotunda next Thursday afternoon from 12:35 to 3:00. Students from a University 101 section will read from banned books from 12:35 to 1:50, and other people will be reading from 1:50 to 3:00. If you would like to read a selection yourself, contact Melissa Hubbard at mhubbard@lib.siu.edu.
