We're the Banned

Tuesday October 2 at 3:00 PM 

 

Join us for an afternoon of discussion, snacks, and activities celebrating Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and Banned Books Week! Participants will have an opportunity to make their own READ poster and discuss their favorite banned books. Call the library at 330-343-6123 to register or for more information.

Banned Books Week is a national celebration in libraries and bookstores that draws attention to censorship. It began in 1982 and continues now as a celebration of everyone's right to read and think for themselves.

This year's One Book, One Community is focusing on Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and also raises questions about censorship and the right to read.
