”Read a Banned Book Lately?”

Libby will delve into her childhood in a book-filled house and how Florida politicians interfering in education isn’t new, leading into a look at the history of book banning and what is really behind the current rash of book banning. She is asking the congregation to bring copies of banned books to display on the stage.
