Library assistant Penny Shumaker put up a new display Friday at the Fort Frances Public Library in anticipation of “Freedom to Read Week” (Feb. 22-28). In light of the Jan. 7 massacre, in which 12 people were killed at the offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris, the display features several political cartoons, books on cartooning, and novels which speak against censorship, as well as pencils, which have become symbols expressing solidarity with the victims.
