Students, faculty, staff and visitors walking into the LITS atrium may have noticed a display table, on top of which rest piles of banned books. You may have read these books or you may not have. Either way, the books’ physical presence at our library, free for anyone to pick up and read, sends a powerful message: we have the right to read these books, in their original form. This is a right that is too often denied by censors, who think that they have the right to control the words we can read.
