SUMMARY:Freedom to Read Event: Evolution of an Activist
DESCRIPTION:Age Restriction: All Ages \nWhen a book ban was suggested in her school library\, Julia Garnett didn’t stay quiet\, she spoke up. What began as one student fighting to keep a single book on the shelf has grown into a national platform. Her anti-censorship writing has appeared in Ms. Magazine and School Library Journal\, and her advocacy has been recognized at the White House. Join us for an in-person conversation with Julia as she traces her own evolution from a high schooler defending stories in her own library to a leading young voice in the fight against censorship nationwide. She’ll talk about what it means to see your own identity targeted on the page\, why queer stories are so often the first ones pulled from shelves\, and how young people are pushing back. This program is presented in partnership with GLYS (Growing LGBTQ+ Youth Support of Western New York)\, who will be on site. Free and open to the public. No registration required. Visit https://www.BuffaloLib.org/banned-books to learn more about Banned Books Week/Freedom to Read Week and find more Banned Books Week/Freedom to Read Week programs at various Buffalo & Erie County Public Library locations.

SUMMARY:MOVEMENTS: After Party at Silo City
DESCRIPTION:Age Restriction: 21+ \nA conversation about turning presence into power ends at a location where a group of workers did exactly that.

Duende is located where an 1899 worker strike broke the “saloon boss” system controlling their hiring and their pay. This strike was one of the most consequential labor victories on the Great Lakes. This is a ticketed 21+ event. For details and to purchase tickets\, visit https://BL.BuffaloLib.org/AfterParty Note: No tickets will be mailed for this event. Your name will be on a list at the door. \nTicket includes priority seating at MOVEMENTS: In Conversation with Rashad Robinson at the Central Library’s Mason O. Damon Auditorium.
