Banned books are…not that scary!💥 Happy Banned Books Week, a time where we celebrate and honor the stories that spark conversation & open minds.❤️📚🧠 To celebrate, OCPL staff got together to create this mock horror film - highlighting how “banned books” are not as scary as they sound.

November is National Indigenous Peoples Month — a time to celebrate and honor Indigenous history, culture, and community.💜 🪶 Betts Branch Library is marking the month with an art exhibit featuring works by Indigenous artists. OCPL’s own Joann Lazore, a member of the Beaver Clan from the Onondaga Nation, shares her connection to the artwork and why it holds such meaning. Stop by and experience it for yourself! #indigenouspeople #indigenouspeople #indigenousartist #nativeamericanheritagemonth #n

Colette and Yona from the OCPL communications department stopped by Syracuse Hancock International Airport to drop off some holiday books and festive bookmarks to the SYR Reading Runway, our free children's library. If you are taking a trip, stop by our area (just to the right of the TSA checkpoint) and pick up a Hanukkah, Christmas or Kwanzaa book for the kids to read on the wait for your flight. Or take a winter bookmark for the kids to color. Remember: It is ALL free. Happy holidays from all
