Join us on June 29, 2023, at 7 PM EDT for a Live event featuring the new documentary "97 - The Fight for the Freedom to Read." We will be steaming to Facebook Live and YouTube Live that evening.
This documentary follows the removal of 97 books from the Beaufort South Carolina school libraries, the local efforts to reinstate them, and explores the larger national struggle to preserve intellectual freedom and the right to read.
The event will feature author Jodi Picoult, three brave students from Beaufort who fought to reinstate the books, Jennifer and Tom Wiggin (the film's producers), and John Chrastka (Executive Director of EveryLibrary) talking about the project, book bans nationwide, and their impact on students and society.
Hosted by EveryLibrary in partnership with Atomic Focus Entertainment.
RSVP now to receive a reminder for the event (Facebook and YouTube) and to learn more about the documentary and efforts to fight book bans across the United States.
