Book Bans & Your Rights to Read

Book Bans & Your Rights to Read In-Person

The First Amendment protects your right to read freely. Are there limits to that? Can governments ban books from libraries, or bookstores, or readers? Join us for an overview of your Constitutional rights (federal AND state) and book banning issues in Canada and the US, and share your favorite banned books.
