Literature for children and teens has long been the most frequently banned category of books in the US, and recent events across America have only intensified the trend.  
The Niagara Frontier Reading Council has chosen YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!: Writers for Young People Talk about Censorship, Free Expression, and the Stories They Have to Tell for its Spring Professional Book Discussion…
AND we are delighted to announce that renowned historian, author, and international lecturer Leonard S. Marcus will join our virtual Spring 2023 Professional Book Discussion Group to discuss this important topic.
What happens when freedom of expression comes under threat? In his illustrated talk, Mr. Marcus will offer an eye-opening look and much needed perspective on book censorship past and present—its patterns and consequences, and what can be done to protect young people's right to read. An opportunity for questions and answers will follow.
 Please see below for more information and click here to register for this exciting CTLE-credit event! Questions? Contact Judy Bradbury at judybradburywrites@gmail.com.
