Jerilynn Williams, director of the Montgomery County Library, will receive a $25,000 prize, at PEN'S annual gala on April 22 in New York City. Last August, commissioners in Montgomery County, located north of Houston, agreed to temporarily remove two books, "It's Perfectly Normal" and "It's so Amazing," both by Robie H. Harris, after complaints, particu larly from the conservative Republican Leadership Council. The group objected to what it described as the books' pro homosexual stance and explicit illustrations. Williams worked to convince a review committee looking into the books to put them back on library shelves. In early 2000, she was criticized for not supporting Internet filter ing on all public access comput ers. After commissioners unani mously voted to have filtering Won software placed on all d •* library's public comp. — Williams won their approva modified Internet use p® which now allows adults w: in a separate area to reque? p ( By I TH the fir disabling of the filtering soft lon L h the Te} The prize was establis^am has fou the PEN American Centef fennis Center I lowship of writers work' With a ful promote literature, re; rac, ' ce t' 1116 t( and free expression, anc 63 ^ 1 on Paul Newman and autho Ileinecke sak me to prepar Hotchner to honor a U.5 Jniversily “ d dent who fought to safe$ reak in the sc the First Amendment rigt “]' m extren freedom of expression a full week of applies to the written mrdiis time in th< The biggest tl Welcome Home The AWoltrte Bert in ftudent Living Campus Lodge Apartments Brand NEW Bungalow; Available Individual Learer 3f Color TV + Cate 1,1,4 Bedroom Bungatow* Greened Veranda 100% Private Bath* Tinted Window High (peed Internet "Play-Adwn Pool Fully Furnifhed w/Hardwood Furniture Now Leafing (ummer/Fall 100} STARTING & $401/Month* And Much MOKE/ Special Rale Induder 1 Month FREE/ Don’t Drag your Feet, Hurry In/ (Rererve TODAY!) mm >EE \l) on-line @ www,caMpuflodge.coM Campus Lodge IVertgate Chopping Center Leare Offi^ 413?
