Right now, in 2017, there are still books that are challenged because of content or subject matter. Thanks to the First Amendment – and the determination of libraries around the country – you have the right to your own reading choices. September 24-30 is Banned Books Week, an annual call to remember that access to books is crucial to an educated democracy. City Lit Theater Company has teamed up with the American Library Association to present a captivating performance of dramatic readings taken from banned books. There will also be an opportunity for a discussion after the readings.
