Banned Books Week!

Banned Books Week - 2014!

To commemorate Banned Books Week, the library is having a Virtual Read Out and Banned Book Mugshot event - Thursday, September 25th from noon to 3:00pm.

It just takes a few minutes for you to get your mugshot with your favorite banned book and then read a few lines. We'll take the images and readings and make a compilation video to commemorate BBW 2014!! Everyone who participates will get a sweet pin and be entered to win a library swag prize!

About Banned Books Week

Many people think that banning books is something that happens only in the past or in extremist dictatorships in far-off countries, but it is, unfortunately, alive and well in the United States. Starting in 1982, Banned Books Week is an effort by librarians to highlight the importance of not censoring books and limiting the public's knowledge on topics that others may find "objectionable".  As John Stewart Mill wrote in "On Liberty":

But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

The titles challenged are sometimes shocking, such as To Kill A Mockingbird, The Giver, The Catcher in the Rye, and ironically, Farenheit 451. Take a moment to look at what texts people find so offensive that they fight to have it removed from libraries:

• Most challenged/banned titles in 2014: http://bannedbooksweek.org/about
• Top challenged/banned books of the 21st century
• Top challenged/banned classics

One thing these lists have in common is that you are guaranteed to find at least one title which changed your life (The Sun Also Rises, Sophie's Choice, Looking for Alaska, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Brave New World, Perks of Being a Wallflower...)

Here are recent local challenges. All have happened within a one-hour drive from Ripon:

Oshkosh, WI

(2007) Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass was removed from the St. John Neumann Middle and Lourdes High School in Oshkosh, WI because of concerns about what critics call its “anti-Christian message.”

Fond du Lac, WI

(2010) Julie Halpern's "Get Well Soon" was challenged at the Theisen Middle School in Fond du Lac, Wis. by a parent who believes that the book contains inappropriate subject matter for children.

(2010) Ann Brashares' "Forever in Blue, the Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood" was challenged at Theisen Middle School in Fond du Lac, WI by a parent who believes that the book has inappropriate subject matter for children. "Some (of the characters in the book) are sexually active, and alcohol is part of their recreation."

(2010) WritersCorps "Paint Me Like I Am: Teen Poems" was retained in the combined middle and high school library in North Fond du Lac, WI School District provided it has a label designating it as appropriate for high school students. Younger students could also access the book with prior parental permission. A parent asked the school district to reconsider the book due to mature language.

(2010) Sonya Sones' "One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies" was challenged but retained at the Theisen Middle School despite a parent's belief that the book's "sexual content was too mature for eleven-to fourteen-year-olds." The book has won several awards, including being named a 2005 Best Book for Young Adults by the American Library Association. The same parent plans to request removal of six other books from the library, including the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, another set of books by Sones, and Get Well Soon, by Julie Halpern.

Menasha, WI

(2008) Louise Rennison's "Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson" was retained with limited access at the Maplewood Middle School in Menasha after objections from a parent who found the book offensive. The book was retained, but board members voted unanimously to adopt procedures intended to secure parental consent before limited access books could be released to students.

Appleton, WI

Carol Plum-Ucci's the "The Body of Christopher Creed" was challenged, but retained in the Appleton, Wis. Area School District (2012), despite the book’s references to suicide and sex. Other titles also considered inappropriate by the local parent group, Valley School Watch, include The Catcher in the Rye and The House on Mango Street. The reading list for the group’s ideal alternate class would contain books with no profanity, obscenity, or sexual material.

West Bend, WI

(2009) Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", Brent Hartinger's "Geography Club", and Francesca Lia Block's "Baby Be-Bop" were just a few of numerous books challenged in West Bend because of content seen by some community members as obscene or harmful to minors. Many of the books challenged had LGBTQ themes. On May 18, 2009, the West Bend Common Council voted not to reappoint four members of the Library Board because of their views and adherence to library policy. NCAC, ABFFE, the Association of American Publishers, and PEN American Center joined to urge the council to reconsider their decision and retain the books. The ALA issued a separate letter and statement on the issue. Additionally, the Christian Civil Liberties Union filed a legal claim arguing that its plaintiffs suffered mental and emotional damage from the presence of the books in the library's young adult section. On June 2, the West Bend Library Board voted unanimously to retain the books in its YA Zone, without removing, relocating, labeling, or otherwise restricting access. Though no subsequent challenges were submitted, the library has faced ongoing pressure to remove or restrict access to online content and library materials for young people.

Congratulations to Emily Cliff!

Thank you again to everyone who participated in bringing poetry to the library, both with submitting your original Haikus and voting for your favorite.  

Haiku voting is open!

Announcing our student finalists for the Haiku contest:


Vote today!  Voting will close 8am on Monday morning, November 4th, when the winner will be announced.

And be certain to join us tonight for the poetry reading and reception with Wisconsin Poet Laureate, Max Garland, at 7:30 in the North Reading Room. See you there!

Get in the mood for poetry

Fall is beautiful
in Wisconsin.  Then winter
comes.  Cold until May.

           -by Librarian Kate Moody

Are you ready to compose an amazing seventeen syllables?  Haikus are coming to Lane Library this month.  

In honor of the upcoming visit of the current Poet Laureate of Wisconsin, Max Garland, we will be holding a haiku contest in the library.  On Wednesday, October 30^th, at 7:30pm, Mr. Garland will be in the North Reading Room of the library to read and discuss his work, with a reception to follow.  This visit is sponsored by Lane Library and the Ripon College Visiting Writers Series, with assistance from the Schang Family Fund.  For more information on Mr. Garland and to read some of his poetry, please visit the Wisconsin Academy website.

Now it is time for you to get creative and work on a haiku with a seasonal theme (fall or Halloween).  We will always accept library inspired haikus as well.  Haikus are a traditional Japanese form of poetry that stress simplicity, can be very direct, and use the 5-7-5 syllable format.  If you want a little help in composing your own, try Write a Haiku.

Photos of sample apples; more will be made!

We will pick the top three haikus and allow you to vote for your favorites at the end of the month.  The winner will receive a couple of fancy caramel apples, created especially for you by librarian Amy Rachuba.  

 Please begin submitting your haikus, either by submitting your entry in the designated box by the circulation desk in the library, or feel free to post either in the comments here or on the Lane Library Facebook page.  If email is more your style, feel free to email us at askref@ripon.edu.

We will announce the finalists on Wednesday, October 30^th, the day of Mr. Garland's visit, and we will open it up for your voting at that time.  The winner will be chosen a few days later.    

Enjoy your fall break, get inspired, and take time to write a haiku or two!

Makerspace workshops in full swing

This semester we are continuing with the Makerspace tradition with workshops at Lane Library.  "Makerspace" can be defined as learning experiences outside of the box at the library, where people gather to learn something together, anything from specialized technology to digital art.  We have already held workshops on Zotero, Prezi, Audacity, Gimp, and Animoto.  Students, faculty and staff have already learned some of the free open source software available to help with their studies, and they have been introduced to other tools to create videos, presentations and podcasts. 

The workshops are free and with no advance registration required, and we try and do two sessions of each workshop. The content covered in each of the two sessions is the same, so you only need to attend the one that fits into your schedule.  The workshops last about 30 minutes, and are held in the Waitkus Computer Lab in Lane Library.

We still have a few more workshops to hold in the coming months, and below is our remaining schedule.

Welcome Back!

A big welcome to the new and returning students!  I would like to introduce myself:  Amy Rachuba, your new resource services librarian.  As a new librarian here, my feelings are probably right up there in anticipation with the new students and the comfort returning students find in the combination of familiarity and a fresh new start.  Having graduated from Ripon College some time ago, it is wonderful to be back on campus and see all of the changes.  

A few notes about the library updates over the summer:

• Film collection:  the library now has an expanded film collection, ready for browsing.
• Ebook collection:   we added over 120,000 new titles through EBSCO, which can be found in our catalog, or by going directly to the EBSCO collection through the database link on the Ripon College library home page.
•  LexisNexis:   we now have access to the full-text database that allows you to search through thousands of news, business, and legal publications.
• Updates in Waitkus computer lab:  a few changes in the lab including new chairs and new paint, and featuring an entire chalkboard wall for working through those group projects, notes, or just figuring out life's little problems.

As I mentioned before, I am the new librarian at Ripon College responsible for electronic resources, serials, and government documents.  Leaving Ripon College as a student and returning as a librarian is turning out to be an interesting experience.  In between graduating and now, I have had the chance to work in a variety of libraries.  Most recently, locally (relatively speaking) at Milwaukee Area Technical College doing cataloging and reference at various campuses, although I have also spent time at George Washington University delving deep into the specialties of law libraries and soaking up the history in Washington, DC.  I also explored the complex and large number of libraries at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and I cannot forget finding my future profession in my first library job at Brandeis University out in the Boston area.  

 All of these experiences together have helped create a broad base of learning in a variety of different libraries, both in their breadth of collection and their diverse learning communities.  While each one has its own set of highlights and challenges, I am thrilled to be back in a small, liberal arts college.  The personal attention and close knit community are things I am welcoming with open arms, and I am looking forward to being a part of the library here.

I am not the only new face around the library this fall, as Amy Stephens is joining us as well as our new acquisitions and business manager.  She has lived in Ripon for fourteen years, and she is a committed member of the community.  While she has been working here for most of the summer, she is looking forward to seeing the library full of students.

Again, welcome to all, and we look forward to seeing you in the library this year!  

              --Amy Rachuba, Resource Services Librarian.
