Freedom to Read Book Club
Each month, we spotlight a book that has sparked controversy—whether for its themes, language, political ideas, or its willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. Our goal isn’t to provoke for the sake of provocation, but to understand why these works were restricted and what they reveal about culture, power, and the freedom to read. Through open, respectful conversation, we examine the historical context behind each challenge, discuss the book’s literary value, and celebrate the voices that others have tried to silence. Join us in reading boldly, questioning freely, and championing the idea that stories should be explored.
Free and open to the public. Seating available on a first-come, first served basis. Questions? Call us at 702.507.3761
