A Celebration of Intellectual Freedom 10th Annual Encore Performance
Danger: Books! is an ongoing series of readings from books that have been banned or challenged in the United States. Every year, we offer a fresh selection of readings—sadly, the list of banned and challenged books continues to grow. Past programs have included excerpts from The Lord of the Flies, Beloved, Johnny Got His Gun, The Lorax, Geography Club, Dracula, Baby Be-bop, The Boy Who Lost His Face, And Tango Makes Three, and Go Ask Alice. Readings are presented in the Book-It Style™ by professional actors who perform the most controversial sections from the books, then facilitate a discussion on the First Amendment and how and why books are banned and challenged.
Please note: Danger: Books! does not include a book or workshop.
“I just want to thank you for the stellar Danger: Books! performance the Book-It actors gave today .... It was deeply moving! They have set the stage for great follow up conversations and lessons.”
–Suz Babayan, Librarian at Franklin High School
