Banned Book Week

9 October 1991

The Sheridan city librarian expressed appreciation to The Sun for its promotion of Banned Books Week. Library visitors were amazed at the banned books displayed, and checked out many of the books. One elderly man commented that he had fought and been injured in Germany during WWII to stop this kind of censorship.
