We’re pleased to announce the start of the Let Utah Read Banned Book Club! The Legendarium (349 E. 900 S) and its cafe will be playing host as we read through books that are banned in Utah and across the country.
On April 15th we’ll be discussing Banned Together: Our Fight for Readers’ Rights, which the publisher describes as “[a] bold collection of fiction, memoir, poetry, graphic narratives, essays, and other genres explores book bans through various lenses, and empowers teens to fight back. From moving personal accounts to clever comebacks aimed at censorship, fifteen legendary YA authors and illustrators confront the high-stakes question of what is lost when books are kept from teens.”
Come for the books, come for the coffee (or hot chocolate), come for the conversation and community.
When: April 15, 6:30 pm
Where: The Legendarium, 349 E. 900 S.
