2023 Banned Books Read-In


Celebrate the Power of Storytelling!

We're excited to invite you to our Banned Books Read-In event, co-hosted by Randall Library and the UNCW English Department. This event will take place on Thursday, October 5th, from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM in the Sherman Hayes Gallery, located on the first floor of Randall Library.

Join Michelle Manning's Ways of Teaching Literature English course, composed of future educators, and selected faculty, staff, students, and community members as they read excerpts from their favorite banned books and share how these books have impacted their lives. Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate your right to read freely and embrace the diverse world of literature!

We look forward to seeing you there as we stand up for intellectual freedom and the right to read whatever we like!
