From May 5 - June 24, Yavapai College will host a traveling exhibit from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum - "Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings."  

The Yavapai College Prescott Library will have many of the books from the "Fighting the Fires of Hate" exhibit on display throughout the duration of  this event.  They will be located near the InfoPortal, which will be running an informational DVD from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum starting Wednesday, April 30th.  The books on display will be available for checkout starting June 24th.
