- **Event Name**: Banned Books Book Club: Parable of the Sower
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 22 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 22 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In the age of increasing book challenges and bans, we believe it's more important than ever to engage directly with the stories at the center of these conversations. Our new Banned Books Club will explore both classic and contemporary titles that have been challenged or banned, taking time to discuss not only the themes within each book but also why these works so often face opposition—and what may be lost when access to them disappears. We’ll kick off our 2026 series with Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler.

Join us on Thursday, January 22, from 6–8pm at The Bookshelf on Church in Kilmarnock, VA, as we dive into powerful, provocative literature and the vital role it plays in shaping thought, empathy, and community.
