ABOUT THE EVENT

This event welcomes families to join us for a reading of books that have been banned from schools, libraries, or other organizations due to their content. We believe these books need to be shared and we invite families to join us in conversation after the reading to talk about why the book is banned, how we each connect to the story, and how we can uplift those who these books celebrate.

Snacks will be available in the lobby after the event where participants can also meet the author and Minneapolis Poet Laureate, Junauda Petrus!

Participation in the Banned Book Club is free, but registration is required.
