Get behind your right to read freely and celebrate Banned Books Week! City Lit Theater Company will return to the library on
Sunday, September 21st at 2:00 to present a fun concert reading of excerpts from the top ten most frequently challenged books of 2013. Since 2006, City Lit - a Chicago theater specializing in staged adaptations of literary material - has teamed up with the
American Library Association’s Office of Intellectual Freedom in honor of Banned Books Week. Its actors perform
Books on the Chopping Block at special events, libraries, and bookstores in and around Chicago all week long. The performance runs 50 minutes and is followed by a discussion. While the program is intended for adults, children in approximately grade 6 and up are welcome to attend.
