With rising rates of book banning and censorship, libraries throughout the United States, including in the Ithaca community, have planned events to recognize Banned Books Week from Oct. 1–7.
While many Ithaca College students are asleep, others begin their work shift. "The Ithacan" interviewed students working "the graveyard shift" at the library, the VIC radio station and Student Auxillary Safety Patrol to gain insight about their late-night lifestyles.
Anne Fadiman, adjunct professor of English at Yale University, will discuss the intimate and personal relationships readers build with books in her presentation titled “Using Bacon as Bookmarks: How Readers Treat Their Books” on Nov. 13 in Emerson Suites.
