Banned Books Read-Out returns October 4

Feinberg Library’s popular Banned Books Read-Out returns this year on October 4th.

Join us to listen or to participate by reading a short selection from a banned or challenged book of your choosing.

It all happens at the library’s main level-two stairway from 12 noon to 3 p.m.

This Read-Out is part of our annual participation in Banned Books Week, celebrating the freedom to read from October 1st through the 7th. This year, we’re pleased to welcome back student readers from the Literature Club and Sigma Tau Delta.
