Banned Book Club

Every month we’ll read a book that has been banned or challenged. We’ve picked the first two reads, but we want your suggestions for what we read going forward.

Banned Book Club will meet the last Saturday of every month at 11:00 (we know, the last weekend in March isn’t a great weekend to have a program, but we already picked Saturdays!)

Our first book is “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini

Copies of the book are available at the library for check out.

Book Summary:

1970s Afghanistan: Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the local kite-fighting tournament and his loyal friend Hassan promises to help him. But neither of the boys can foresee what would happen to Hassan that afternoon, an event that is to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realizes that one day he must return to an Afghanistan under Taliban rule to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.
