Inside the Season: Silenced Voices, Banned Books at Folger Shakespeare Library
201 East Capitol Street SE
The first discussion of the Folger’s new Inside the Season series explores the topic of book banning in America, with a specific focus on the impact on education. With books on race, antiracism, and LGBTQIA+ topics especially targeted, how does book banning affect how young people find themselves reflected in our society? What does the lack of representation and access to literature do to the state of our democracy? And what can we do to combat the problem? Speakers include David Quick (Adult Services Librarian, DC Public Library), Liam Dempsey (Folger Associate Director of Education), and Hannah Oliver Depp (Owner, Loyalty Bookstores). Loyalty Bookstores will have books available for purchase. Tickets are $25 per person, with discounts available for Folger subscribers and members and available here.
