The last week of every September is officially Banned Books Week throughout the U.S., thanks to the American Library Association. In this panel discussion to be held at So and So Books, 2024 N.C. Piedmont Laureate Steven Petrow will lead a discussion about the threat books bans pose to freedom and democracy and more granularly to young people, LGBTQ+ individuals, librarians, and other marginalized people. Our focus is on the right to choose and the right to read.
