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!"
