Banned Books Week 2019: Literature Locked Up Banned Book Reading and Public Discussion

Attendants gathered at Scuppernong Books on Tuesday, September 24 to celebrate banned and challenged books from around the world. In honor of Banned Books Week 2019 , the event featured readings of banned books and involved the Scuppernong’s Young Adult Book Club, as well as the general public, with an educational component around PEN America’s Literature Locked Up campaign and provided an opportunity for participants to sign a petition calling for the right to read in American prisons.

This event was free and open to the public.
