Banned Books Read-In with Libro.fm

We've teamed up with Libro.fm and Silent Book Club to host a Banned Books Read-In in protest of censorship. Bring your favorite banned book or shop our banned books table and then spend some time in the store reading your book. After some silent reading time, we'll discuss ways we can take action against book banning together and share resources.

Attendees will receive a free audiobook copy of Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Book from Libro.fm!

While we will have water and light refreshments (including gluten-free and nut-free options), Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops, filled with excellent dining options. Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don't feel shy about sipping boba while we read!

Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in libraries, bookstores, and schools. Held in the last week of September or first week of October, the annual event highlights the value of free and open access to information and brings together the entire book community — librarians, educators, authors, publishers, booksellers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas.
