What do Harry Potter, the Bible, To Kill
a Mockingbird, and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian all
have in common? They’ve all been banned or challenged in libraries, schools, or
colleges. Join the library as we celebrate the freedom to read by hosting two
panel discussions on banned books.
Take an eye-opening look at the history of banned and
challenged comic books and graphic novels from the 1940s to today at “SuperBad:
Banned Comics We Read Anyway.” This event is 11 a.m. to noon Monday, Sept. 22
in room 9100 on the TCC Southeast Campus.
A panel discussion featuring TCC faculty and a special
surprise guest will share banned books that have influenced them and why the
freedom to read is vital to an educated society. “Banned Books and Naughty
Novels: Forbidden Literature That Shaped Our Development” is 1 to 2 p.m.
Wednesday, Sept. 24 in the Student Commons on the TCC Metro Campus.
