![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtuOB_fwaIQ3KdrxzUKGPHRcsBoomO3PMbm7fVZnPmWeJqty8OQi7zjGlEFMnyCN-pJDtH4-kiICA4zXKHF2-3oe7v7GR40ZJKRRMjJ31qS1X2b-_GyriunWlssCXifZiqyXchvC7vbM/s1600/HTx_logo_color_HiRes.jpg)
Highlighting the impact of
censorship as applied to the humanities through the ages, this exhibition
emphasizes the relevance of censorship to a contemporary audience. Each panel examines a specific subject
within censorship through quotes, images and informative text.
The exhibition will be
on display for the public from April 1st to April 24th on the Patio
outside the library. Be sure to step inside the library to check out books that
have a history of being censored or about censorship as well.
