Join the St. Louis Park Human Rights Commission for Banned Book Brunch, a powerful and family-friendly storytime that celebrates the freedom to read!
As part of the Summer Reading Festival, this free event shines a spotlight on the importance of education, literacy, and free speech—especially in a time when children’s books face increased challenges. Come hear stories from banned books, honor the voices of authors, illustrators, and artists, and stand up for the right to explore ideas freely. It’s a meaningful morning of stories, community, and courage you won’t want to miss!
