Banned Book week commenced September 25th and ends October 2nd. Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena will have in-store displays of favorite books that have banned in the past, such as those authored by Dr. Suess and Mark Twain.

Speaking of books, S.E. Hinton, author of The Outsiders, That Was Then; This is Now, Rumble Fish, and Tex, will sign her new book, Hawkes Harbor, on Wednesday, September 29th at Dutton's Brentwood. Reading starts at 7:00 PM.
