This Banned Books Week, we’re teaming up with Libro.fm and Silent Book Club to host a Banned Books Read-In to protest book censorship. Join us on October 10 as we read and take action to fight book bans! 

Attendees will also receive a free audio copy of either Banned Together or How to Defend Books and Why

To raise awareness for the day and for Banned Books Week, Spokane Public Library invites readers of all ages and interests to grab a book of their choice and join us at Manito Park's Joel E. Ferris perennial garden for an hour of reading. Participants are welcome to come and go as they please throughout the hour. Writing Education Specialist Sharma Shields will be on hand with information about Banned Books Week and fun new library stickers. Let's fill the park with engaged readers!
