The Reading Public Library is excited to host Ryan Estrada, co-author of the graphic novel Banned Book Club!
The gripping true story of a South Korean woman's student days under an authoritarian regime in the early 1980s, and how she defied state censorship through the rebellion of reading.
About the Author:
After working with activists who used banned books to overthrow a dictator, working with a survivor who used banned books to escape a cult, then working with freedom to read organizations all over the world when his own book got banned, Ryan Estrada has a unique perspective to bring on the importance of the freedom to read books and the dangerous historical context that keeps people trying to ban them.
Ryan has a diverse background that has allowed him to work on many different projects. They are colorfully displayed on his website.
This program is open to adults and teens.
For those who attend, a random drawing will pick 10 winners to receive a copy of 'Banned Book Club' and a tote bag of goodies!
