Program Description

To commemorate Banned Books Week, the Library has invited actors from City Lit Theater in Chicago to perform dramatic readings of excerpts from books on the American Library Association's list of most frequently challenged books. Celebrate the freedom to read with this special performance, the 18th annual edition of what City Lit calls "Books on the Chopping Block."

Please note: some books featured are for teen readers, but excerpts may contain adult themes.
