OPEN MIC! Banned Books Event This Friday at Plainfield Performing Arts Center

FACT: I read banned books, and if you read at all, the odds are you have read a banned book, too! 

In celebration of Banned Books Week, I am hosting an OPEN MIC session this Friday, Sept. 23 at the Plainfield Performing Arts Center (724 Park Avenue) in partnership with the City of Plainfield. Doors open at 7:00 pm, with music and refreshments. Join us as we read passages from our collection of widely and consistently banned books (authors such as Toni Morrison, Mark Twain, and Plainfield's own George Johnson, author of the best-selling All Boys Aren't Blue), or bring your own banned book and read a selection.

The evening is dedicated to the free exchange of ideas--join us as we fight back against censorship!

Doors open at 7:00 pm, with music and refreshments--the Open Mic session begins at 7:30 PM.
