2/13 THURSDAY 6:30PM — Banned Together: The Fight Against Censorship

Celebrate the Freedom to Read by joining Let Utah Read for a special, free, private pre-release screening of the new documentary film Banned Together.

Banned Together is a 90-minute feature documentary film about the current wave of book bans in the United States. It tells the local story of Beaufort, S.C., where 97 books are suddenly pulled from their school libraries after two adults threaten to take legal action against the school board.

The film follows three teenagers through their senior year of high school as they work together to fight book bans in Beaufort and then at the state and national levels. This community’s story is interwoven with the larger national landscape of book banning, including interviews with best-selling authors, policymakers, and experts.

While the screening is free, registration is requested.

2/28 FRIDAY 6:30PM — Collectors' Book Salon

The February 28 Collectors' Book Salon will feature Paul Jerome. Paul is originally from Wisconsin and a Packers fan. His degrees in accounting and public administration have taken him from accounting at KUTV Channel 2 News, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Eagle Mountain City to his present position as West Jordan City’s Assistant Chief Administrative Officer. His passion for rare books began only a few years ago with the acquisition of a first edition of The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Oh, which book is it? Paul will help us parse a few. He now owns the first five editions. He also sought and bought the rest of Dickens. And that is not all. Come to our February Salon, hear Paul’s story and see some remarkable books.
