At San Mateo County Libraries, we affirm our commitment to uphold the rights of library patrons to engage with information in alignment with the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights. Providing our communities with a wide array of materials that reflect their experiences and inspire them to discover new perspectives helps us all in becoming more informed together. This week, October 5–11, we celebrate Banned Books Week, an opportunity to reflect on the importance of intellectual freedom. |
