Banned Together Screening (Ages 12+) – Sunday, January 19 (2 pm)
The Coeur d’Alene Public Library, with the help of the Library Alliance of North Idaho, is inviting you to celebrate the Freedom to Read by joining us for a pre-release screening of the new documentary film Banned Together.
REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS REQUIRED: Register Here
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. Viewers follow 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.
Additional information on the film may be found at www.bannedtogetherdoc.com.

Following the screening, 5 attendees will be asked to volunteer for a short (10-20 second) “Reaction Video” for the producers.
