B.Y.O.B.B. - Well Behaved Books (Seldom make history) - October 23, 2025

In schools, books are being challenged and banned at an unprecedented rate in the United States and now Canada. Even when the books being challenged have not been read! This book club will not be traditional, where there is an assigned book we need to read before attending and discuss together. Instead, please bring a book from the recently posted 'materials with explicit content" list that you love and a reason why you enjoyed it or why the book is important to keep in schools. If you do not have a book to bring, that is okay! Everyone is welcome to come and participate in the discussion about books others love! A few light snacks and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided. Sign up through Eventbrite HERE.
