Libby Chenault, Rare Books librarian, adjusts Ulysses, one of the books featured in a display of works that over-came censorship. The exhibit, "Cele-brating Freedom: A Look at Challenged Books through the Ages," celebrates the U.S. freedom to read and to express ourselves. The works represented range from titles troubling the ancient world, such as Homer's Odyssey and Ovid's Ars Amatoria, to those facing challenges in this century, including D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover and J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. The exhibit can be viewed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Rare Books Collection, located on the third floor of Wilson Library, also has on exhibit some of the recent acquisitions from Grove Press.
