For Banned Books Week, we offer you this 81-year-old image from our collections.

No man and no force can put thought in a concentration camp forever. No man and no force can take from the world the books that embody man's eternal fight against tyranny.

A print of this poster currently hangs in the hallway between our reading room and classroom, along with several other posters about libraries, books, and reading, dating from the 1920s to the 1940s.

Books are weapons in the war of ideas [graphic] / S. Broder. RARE FLAT D743.25 .B75 1942

The idea of dragons in modern times is so fun because imagine a hot summer day on your vacay and go to use the hotel pool and staff is like "valued guests we regret to inform you that the pool area is out of service at the moment, we apologize for the inconvenience"

And people like "wtf why" looking out their hotel room window and there's this. This dragon just curled up in the pool chilling, literally, cooling itself down

Some of the staff are trying to gently shoo him away and the dragon does a soft little "rrrrrr" like a grumpy cat and a warning puff of smoke and they're like "fuck it i don't get paid nearly enough for this" and no ones using the pool today sorry!

"Why do you smell like that?" he demanded. "Where did you come from? Do you live in the woods? What are you? We just got here. Finally. Where is your House?" He put his forehead against mine and inhaled deeply. "I don't get it!" he exclaimed. "What is it?"
