What do The Giver, Harry Potter and TheAdventures of Tom Sawyer have in common?They have all been “Banned Books.” That meansthey were removed from a school or publiclibrary because someone did not agree with theideas expressed in them. People who ban booksthink they have good reasons; usually bookbanners feel they are protecting children fromideas that are not suitable for their age level.Although Orangeview’s library has many booksthat have been banned in other places, theselibrary books have been chosen as appropriatefor the junior high level. You are free to read anybooks in the Orangeview library. Only you andyour parents can decide what ideas are right foryour family. Come by the library today andcelebrate your freedom to read during “BannedBooks Week.”

38 Ever wonder why libraries "throw books away?" While shelving books atWestern's library, I came across a book titled Computers: Their Operationand Applications by Edmund Callis Berkeley. This book was published in1956, and was shelved in the Mathematics section (before the DeweyDecimal System was revised to hold computers in the 004-006 section).Here's a gem of information on "Miniature Computers and their use inTraining:"

"Access to a ComputerOne main requirement in every undertaking to teach persons about automaticcomputers is access to one. Obviously, those schools that have automaticcomputers are the ones that offer courses in their operation. Ideally, everyschool that teaches mathematics should possess an example of an automaticcomputer, so that students might be trained not only in the process of doingarithmetic by hand, but also in the process of doing arithmetic by automaticcomputer. However, most automatic computers are monopolized by "VIP's --very important problems....An automatic computer may rent for $300 anhour, and it is hardly possible to allow individual students a couple of hoursof actual instruction and experiment on such a machine, as if it were a deskcalculator. A second factor is that many schools can afford to spend not morethan a few hundred dollars towards an automatic computing machine, whilethe current lowest cost of a digital computer is about $40,000." (pp. 172-173)

100The Blind Men and the Elephant

It was six men of IndostanTo learning much inclined,Who went to see the Elephant(Though all of them were blind),That each by observa?onMight sa?sfy his mind.

The First approach'd the Elephant,And happening to fallAgainst his broad and sturdy side,At once began to bawl:"God bless me! but the ElephantIs very like a wall!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk,Cried, -‐"Ho! what have we hereSo very round and smooth and sharp?To me '?s mighty clearThis wonder of an ElephantIs very like a spear!"

The Third approached the animal,And happening to takeThe squirming trunk within his hands,Thus boldly up and spake:"I see," quoth he, "the ElephantIs very like a snake!"

The Fourth reached out his eagerhand,And felt about the knee."What most this wondrous beast is likeIs mighty plain," quoth he,"'Tis clear enough the ElephantIs very like a tree!"
