History of Book Banning Series

The Milford Public Library and the Milford Museum are excited to launch this four-part series on the history of book banning. This series covers the 18th Century through today, and each session focuses on book bannings, challenges, and censorship during its highlighted century. This series was made possible through the Books Unbanned Grant created by the Brooklyn Public Library. Prizes will be awarded, and refreshments will be available. High school students, please check with your teachers to see if attending one of the sessions is an assignment and/or worth bonus points.

For ages 12-21.

No required registration.
