This group meets on the fourth Monday afternoon of the month at 12:00 PM (except in May, when it meets the third Monday on May 18th due to the Memorial Day holiday). Are you curious, confused, or concerned about the recent increase in book challenges and bans occurring across the country? Facilitated by retired librarian Tammy DePasquale, this monthly program offers an opportunity to read and discuss titles in the news and on the ‘no read’ lists and weigh in on those challenging topics facing both public and school libraries in a respectful, safe space. Titles will be available for check out at the circulation desk a month before they are discussed. Registration is NOT required, and new participants are always welcome!
