It's Banned Books Week, Oct. 4-10! 📚

Since 1982, libraries, booksellers, educators and readers have come together each fall to celebrate the freedom to read. Banned Books Week started in response to a sudden surge in challenges to books in schools, libraries and bookstores. Today, it reminds us why open access to information matters.

This year's theme is "Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read."

At Hobby Memorial Library, we believe every reader deserves the chance to explore a range of ideas and decide for themselves. Stop by the library this week to see our display of challenged books.

Thank you for a fantastic turnout!

Hobby Memorial Library was full of energy tonight at the Creative Writing Seminar with CTC's very own published author, Professor Estringel!

Professor Estringel walked attendees through the do's and don'ts of publishing, giving an honest, eye-opening look at what it really takes to move a manuscript from the computer to the publisher. From common pitfalls to insider tips, the seminar left our aspiring writers with plenty to think about.

A big thank you to Professor Estringel for sharing his expertise, and to everyone who came out. Keep an eye out for future writing workshop dates coming your way this semester!
