This is the same theme that will be used for the New Mexico Library Association annual conference in Taos next April 27-28, 2000. ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom is reminding librarians that the national celebration of Banned Books Week on September 25 through October 2 highlights the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one's opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. Information also is available on the Office for Intellectual Freedom web site. Additional information about Banned Books Week can be found on the specific web location. Information on book challenges and a list of challenged books is available also.
