Past event
About This Event
Kick off Banned Books Week with a silent reading event on Sunday, October 4th from 10AM until 12PM. Silent reading will last from 10:30AM until 11:30AM. Attendees may also write their own banned books shelf talker for display in the store through the month of October! Free snacks/drinks available.
BYO chair/blanket recommended (Bards Alley's are not the most comfortable!) and attendees may bring their own book or purchase on at the store before silent reading begins.
Tickets required to attend. Ticket cost may be used as a deposit for any purchase made at Bards Alley that same day. All attendees will receive a free Libro.fm audiobook code for Banned Together or How to Defend Books and Why.
