Carnegie-Stout Public Library in Dubuque is excited to host a Banned Book Giveaway by Annie's Foundation from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 9, 2024. The event is free and open to the public, and all ages are welcome.Annie's Foundation is a nonprofit volunteer organization based in Johnston, Iowa which fights censorship in schools and libraries across the state by distributing free copies of banned and challenged books to readers of all ages.
During the Banned Book Giveaway, everyone is invited to take a free copy of a book from a list of titles that were recently removed from Dubuque schools. One book per person will be available while supplies last.
Sara Hayden Parris, the founder and president of Annie's Foundation, will also share updates about the status of book banning in Iowa, and ongoing court challenges to Senate File 496, the 2023 law which restricts access to books in schools.
