NORFOLK, Va. – (Feb. 3, 2005) – Tidewater Community
College’s Norfolk Campus Learning Resources Center has won
the 2004 Banned Book Week Display Award from the Virginia Library
Association’s Intellectual Freedom Committee.
The VLA/IFC Banned Books Week Display contest, open to libraries
throughout the Commonwealth, judges displays that celebrate a
“freedom to read.” The VLA/IFC committee selects the
winning display that best evokes the spirit of Banned Books Week
with creativity and educational impact.
Each year the winning library receives a certificate of achievement,
has its display featured on the IFC website and gets recognition
in the VLA Newsletter.

for TCC’s winning display.
