Enjoy the Silence : NC Libraries Silent Study Rooms
Enjoy the silence
Soar to new heights in the Silent Study Rooms at both NC Libraries!
During the construction the Welland Campus Library Instruction Room has been converted into a Silent Study Room, for individual quiet study. Carrels have been set up so that you can grab your little quiet corner of the world. Although this is a new feature in the WC Campus Library the NOTL Campus Library has had a permanent Silent Study Room which continues to be available for students.

February 22-27, 2010 is Freedom to Read Week in Canada.
Did you know that Harry Potter, The Golden Compass, The Handmaid’s Tale, To Kill a Mockingbird, Maxim for Men, Of Mice and Men, The Bible, Huckleberry Finn, Lord of the Flies, Catcher in the Rye are all titles which appear on the list of challenged books and magazines in Canada?
This selective list provides information on more than 100 books and magazines that have been challenged in the past decades. Each challenge sought to limit public access to the books in schools, libraries, or bookstores. Some challenges were upheld; others were rejected.
Freedom to Read Week provides an opportunity for Canadians to focus on issues of intellectual freedom as they affect your community, your province, our country, and countries around the world.

Freedom to Read Week
I really had a lot dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot. –Bill Gates
Celebrate your freedom to read! Freedom to Read Week runs from February 21st to 27th. Take time to browse the displays of books at the NOTL & Welland Campus Libraries. They represent a few of the books that have been challenged by groups of people that wish to limit public access to these titles. Don’t be surprised if you see some classic favorites there!
