LIBRARY DISPLAYS BANNED BOOKS!

Did you know that The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language has faced censorship because it contains 39 objectionable words? (LA Times,9/27/11)

See the Banned Books Week display in LLR and you may be surprised at some of the titles. The display is located on the west side of the display case just inside the library doors. A few books are also displayed on the tops of the low shelves behind the Reference Desk.

The Hispanic Heritage Month display continues on the east side of the display case.

Check out the student sculptures on display on the 3rd Floor of the Library Learning Resources building. Group projects by students in Cynthia Minet's Sculpture I class (ART M77) are located near the top of the stairs and by the south windows.

Using cardboard, students were asked to make Cubist- and Constructivist-style interpretations of animals, fruits, objects, or other subjects of their choice.

Be sure to see all seven sculptures: Giraffe, Maia (figure), Skull, Ballerina, Spinning Top, Monkey, Elenor (deer).
