The American Library Association's Freedom to Read Statement includes the following: There is no place in our society for efforts to coerce the taste of others, to confine adults to the reading matter deemed suitable for adolescents, or to inhibit the efforts of writers to achieve artistic expression.
As with all types of media content, each person must decide what types and what content they wish to engage with. Not everything on this page will be suitable for everyone, and as with all content (and books), each person must decide what is or is not for them. We hope that this page provides you with some new suggestions for media content, or at a minimum, helps you get to know our amazing staff a little better!
