From Winchester Public Library

Friends and Patrons of all ages! Join us from 3 to 5 p.m. and other libraries around the state and the country as we acknowledge Banned Books Week with a Read In! Stop by one of our Banned Book tables and learn all about why certain books have been banned in the past (and why they're still being banned). Stay a while and grab a snack, sit with a book, or take our Banned Books Quiz!

Kids and Families will be out on the Library Lawn (weather permitting) and Teens and Adults will be in the Large Meeting Room.

Questions? Email winchild@minlib.net or winchester@minlib.net

Thanks for reaching out and noticing this event!
