A Celebration of Banned Books
Join the ACLU of RI, Narragansett Public Library, and We Are All Readers for a Banned Books Week event!
Celebrate banned books with us by hearing directly from authors who have have had their writing challenged or banned.
First, we’ll hear excerpts from banned books read out loud. Then, we’ll talk in small groups about censorship based on provided questions, and end with moderated discussion with the panel of guest authors.
