Book Holds
Book Holds
You can place a Hold on items in the Library Collection to reserve a book in the Library, or to be placed in the queue of a book that is checked out to someone else.
You can place a Hold on items in the Library Collection to reserve a book in the Library, or to be placed in the queue of a book that is checked out to someone else.
If the book is listed as IN, we will check the book out to you. We will deliver all holds during UberBooks in Homeroom the next morning.
If you are not in Homeroom when we do UberBooks, you have one week after you place your hold to pick it up yourself in the Library.
If the book was listed as OUT when you placed a Hold, that means it is currently checked out to someone else. As soon as the previous person turns the book in, we will check the book out to you and let you know it is available to pick up, or you can wait until we deliver during UberBooks the next morning.

Banned books
Banned books
Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. It brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.
The books featured during Banned Books Week have all been targeted for removal or restriction in libraries and schools across the world. By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship.
From the American Libraries Association:
From the American Libraries Association:
Public schools and public libraries, as public institutions, have been the setting for legal battles about student access to books, the removal or retention of “offensive” material, regulation of patron behavior, and limitations on public access to the internet... Directly or indirectly, ordinary individuals are the driving force behind the challenges to the freedom to access information and ideas in the library.
The First Amendment prevents public institutions from compromising individuals' First Amendment freedoms by establishing a framework that defines critical rights and responsibilities regarding free expression and the freedom of belief. The First Amendment protects the right to exercise those freedoms, and it advocates respect for the right of others to do the same. Rather than engaging in censorship and repression to advance one's values and beliefs, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis counsels persons living in the United States to resolve their differences in values and belief by resort to '"more speech, not enforced silence."
