Silent Book Club – Banned Books
October 18 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm EDT
Free
Silent Book Club is a unique and relaxing social gathering that combines the joy of reading with the pleasure of shared company. Participants come together to read silently, followed by lively discussions (if they choose) about the books they’ve read. It’s the perfect blend of solitude and social interaction for book enthusiasts of all kinds.
This October, we are celebrating Banned Books and the right to read. We encourage Silent Book Club participants to bring a book that has been challenged or banned to read and discuss. Not sure what to read? Here are some great recommendations from your favorite librarians!
