Banned Books Book Group

Join us for an exhilarating journey into the world of ‘forbidden’ literature! Our inaugural meeting kicks off with the timeless classic, “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. In this book group, we embrace the power of provocative narratives and celebrate the freedom to explore ideas that have been deemed too controversial or challenging by some. Engage in thought-provoking conversations about the novel’s themes, characters, and its impact on society. Share your insights and perspectives in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Connect with like-minded individuals who appreciate the power of literature to challenge societal norms and promote critical thinking. Embark on a literary adventure that challenges boundaries, stimulates the mind, and fosters a community of free thinkers. Let’s celebrate the freedom to read together!

Why “To Kill a Mockingbird”?

Harper Lee’s masterpiece, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” is a compelling exploration of racial injustice, morality, and compassion in the American South during the 1930s. Though hailed as a literary triumph, this novel has faced its share of challenges and censorship over the years. Its themes and content have sparked discussions about race, class, and societal norms, making it a perfect choice for us to dive into.

The Banned Books Book Group meets on the first Wednesday of every month at 11:30 am at the library.
