Banned Books Club, Mar. 2

It is more important now than ever that we exercise our freedom of protest by reading banned books. Books and literature are the focal points of our culture and freedom. By reading banned books publicly and loudly, we protest the people who’ve banned them; those who actively seek to oppress and repress our knowledge and community. The Boulder Public Library at its Main Branch is hosting a reading of the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night by Mark Haddon. This murder mystery focuses on a young boy investigating the death of his neighbor’s dog. Throughout, he finds secrets his father had kept from him, a long-lost mother, and hope for a new day. This book is a cornerstone in neurodivergence, dealing with cheating and divorce, and solving the murder of a neighborhood pet.
