Banned Books Celebration w/ Republic of Letters

Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in libraries, bookstores, and schools. Held in the last week of September or first week of October, the annual event highlights the value of free and open access to information and brings together the entire book community — librarians, educators, authors, publishers, booksellers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas.

We're teaming up with Republic of Letters out of Mineral Point to celebrate books! They'll be here with a collection of books from their store that you will be able to purchase. We will also be having Banned Book Trivia questions throughout the night with prize giveaways!

If you love books and literary freedom stop on by!
