In recognition of Banned Books Week, we invite you to participate in one of 3 screening and discussions of the new documentary, "Banned Together." Light refreshments will be provided at each event. Registration is recommended to help plan for refreshments, but walk ins are welcome. Please register below.In the film, we'll explore a diverse cast of visionary teenagers, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges, and drama-filled school board meetings: this is the explosive world of Banned Together.The film pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools. Banned Together follows three students and their adult allies as they fight to reinstate 97 books suddenly pulled from their school libraries. As they evolve from local to national activists – meeting with bestselling/banned authors, politicians, Constitutional experts, and more – the film reveals the dark forces behind the accelerating wave of book bans in the U.S. "Banned Together is a must-watch film. At once inspiring, illuminating, enraging, and terrifying, the film captures the true threats of book banning and the power of young people and authors in fighting for the freedom to read." - Jonathan Friedman, PEN America
