Join Our Banned Book Club!

We’re starting a Banned Book Club! Each month in the fall and spring, we’ll read and discuss a powerful book that has faced bans or challenges, exploring stories that spark critical conversations and celebrate diverse voices. These books may not be faith-based, but they raise real questions about justice, identity, and community—themes deeply connected to who we are and what we care about. Join us each month as we read, reflect, and connect through banned and challenged books.

Our reading list aligns thematically with heritage months and social awareness observances, creating space to honor and engage with the communities each book represents.

Monthly themes & books for Spring 2026:

March (Women’s History Month)
How to Kill a Witch: The Patriarchy’s Guide to Silencing Women by Claire Mitchell and Zoe Venditozzi
Meeting: 12:30PM at Chimera Cafe

April (Sexual Assault Awareness Month)
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

May (Asian American Heritage Month)
American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang

Together, we’ll dive into these banned and challenged books, unpack why they’ve been targeted, and explore the vital themes they raise. Let’s celebrate the freedom to read and the power of stories to transform hearts, minds, and communities!
