As you might have already read, the Annandale Campus Library is celebrating Banned Books Week through a podcast a day! We’ve already heard podcasts from two wonderful English as a Second Language students, Anh and Faiza. Now, let’s hear their professor, Shirley Nuhn!

Transcript:

“We can get our knowledge from the internet and loads of apps to download. But deep learning can improve the quality of life. In fact, reading books for 3.5 hours a week can reduce the risk of dying withing one year. Sure, I would like to live longer, being healthy and happy. And a major way to make me happy? Having time to read more books! Banned Books Week, celebrated every fall, reminds us about the freedom and right to read. To read books is to open windows and doors. To learn more and to catch some books, visit your library. Maybe you’ll see me there! I’m Shirley Nuhn, professor of ESL at NOVA Annandale.”
