The Maine Library Association is thrilled to invite MLA members and Maine communities to join us for a FREE screening of Banned Together.
Banned Together pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools.
This film follows three young women during their senior year of high school as they fight hostile community members and school board officials to reinstate these banned books. We witness their evolution from local to national activists as they advocate at school board meetings, sit down with national politicians, famous authors and constitutional scholars, and ultimately, speak on stage at the Right to Read Rally during the American Library Association’s annual conference in Chicago.
These events are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, but registration is required:
October 22nd, Orono Maine
October 22nd, Biddeford Maine
November 4th, Augusta Maine
