WE LOVE BANNED BOOKS EVENTS
- Thursday, Sept. 26th, 5:00pm Banned Books/Silenced Voices – When books are banned, the voices of the author and the characters are silenced and readers are closed off to people, places, and perspectives. By standing up for stories, the power that lies inside every book is unleashed, and the array of voices that need to be heard and the scenes that need to be seen are liberated. Join us in the library or online as Mariah Ghant from Delaware Shakespeare brings the strength and the beauty of banned texts to life through dramatic readings. In-person and online.
