Banned Book Club
July 27 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for our new book club: Banned Book Club
Every month we’ll read a book that has been banned or challenged. We’ve picked the first few 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.
Our July book is “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury
Copies of the book are available at the library for check out.
Book Summary:
Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.
