Banned Books Group

The Banned Books book group reads a mix of books that have been challenged or banned in the U.S. Some are recent books that are facing challenges in classrooms and libraries right now; others are books that have been targeted over the decades. While we will spend most of our time discussing each book as a work of literature, we will also (at least briefly) discuss the efforts against it and why people feel threatened by the themes, characters, and/or events in it. 

By participating in the group, you are agreeing to listen respectfully to others’ ideas and opinions. If you tend to be in favor of restricting access to books for anyone, including children, this is probably not the group for you. 

WHERE: In-person at Women & Children First
WHEN: The second Monday of every month, at 7PM
