Not Just About Books @ Freedom
School is back in session and that means we'll be seeing more of you. In case you don't know, the Freedom Regional Library (FRL) is connected to the Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology and right down the street from Harding University High School. We invite you to come and do your homework, study, read, check materials out (books, graphic novels, manga, DVDs, CDs, etc.), do research, use the Internet (after school), and come to our programs.
There's a lot going on this fall, so don't miss out!

Don't know what Teen Read Week is? Then check these out:
that I will keep up for a few more weeks
and October (Celebrate Books with Bite) is up.
This display has a variety of books with bite!
The La Catrina Quartet visited Freedom Regional Library today and played music for Phillip O. Berry students.
In addition to playing music,
the group told stories and answered questions about their music.
There was an open mic for all teens who wanted to read a short passage from a book that was either challenged or banned in the past, or something of their own. All participants enjoyed snacks while listening to other teens read and received more info about Banned Books Week (Sept 27-Oct 4, 2008).
Teens won prizes for participating - a book, a movie rental card and an iTunes gift card!
