Banned Book Club

Banned Book Club: A Monthly Book Club


When:
Second Saturday of the month, 3:00–4:30 PM

Where:
The Gilded Page

Cost:
Free, with a $3–$5 suggested donation


Every month, we gather to explore a book that’s been banned or challenged — and to talk about why it matters.


Here’s how it works:
- One Featured Book: Announced a month in advance so you can read along (or just come listen).
- First 45 minutes: Group discussion of the featured book — its story, its impact, and why it was challenged.
- Last 30 minutes: Open mic for any other banned/challenged books you’ve read lately.


Before and after the meeting, browse our Banned Books Table to find your next read (including past and upcoming picks).


Whether you’ve read every book on the banned list or are just curious about why some stories are silenced, you’ll find a seat — and a conversation — waiting for you.
