Book Club
For January's Banned Books Book Club we are reading Out of Darkness by Ashley Hope Perez. This book was banned, challenged, and restricted for depictions of abuse and because it was considered to be sexually explicit. (Learn more at Banned Books Week and American Library Association).
Meet at Explore Booksellers, just two blocks from the library.
