Banned Books Read-In

Event Details

Celebrate Banned Books Week and Your Freedom to Read!

Join us at Ekstrom Library for a public read-in of challenged and banned books, where every page tells a story that has inspired thought, sparked debate, and shaped our culture. Come to listen and explore the importance of intellectual freedom while reflecting on the value of challenged texts.

Free Books to anyone who reads.  All other books will be raffled to attendees (must be present to win).

Sign Up to Read: Email Joan D'Antoni (UofL Department of English) at joan.dantoni@louisville.edu

Stop in and have a listen anytime between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Monday, September 28 and Tuesday, September 29.  

Co-sponsored by University Libraries, UofL Department of English, and The Louisville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc.
