GBLD 194 We're with the Banned Event: fREADdom Cafe


When: Thursday, October 9th



Where: Missoula Public Library 6-8pm


In celebration of Banned Books week, you are invited to enjoy our fREADom Cafe in the company of fellow library lovers! Clyde Coffee's relaxing cafe awaits readers who want to grab a drink, listen to live tunes, and take in beautiful views, all while getting lost in a good book. Missoula Public Library is proud to partner with UM's Franke Global Leadership Initiative and KFGM community radio to bring community silent reading to the library.


From 6:00 to 6:30 PM, readers can grab a drink, find a seat, and choose a FREE banned book to take home (limited to supply on hand). Silent reading will start at 6:30 PM, with conversations/ socializing facilitated by UM students from 7:30-8 PM. Please note that once the library closes at 6 PM, only the Main Street entrance doors will be unlocked from 6-6:30 PM for entry to the event.
