About the Event

📚 Welcome to the Banned Book Club!

At Banned Book Club, we read and discuss titles that have been censored or challenged—books that shake things up and demand to be talked about.


In October, we’ll be reading Go Ask Alice, the anonymous diary of a teenage girl navigating addiction, peer pressure, and mental health. First published in 1971, this book has been banned repeatedly due to its graphic and emotional content—and yet it remains a haunting cultural touchpoint.


💬 What to Expect:

  • An open, judgment-free conversation space

  • Optional reflection prompts provided in advance
