Books on the Chopping Block

Get behind your right to read freely and celebrate Banned Books Week! City Lit Theater Company will return to the library to present a live concert reading of excerpts from the top ten most frequently challenged books of 2011. Since 2006, City Lit--a Chicago theater specializing in staged adaptations of literary material--has teamed up with the American Library Association’s Office of Intellectual Freedom in honor of Banned Books Week. The company’s actors perform Books on the Chopping Block at special events, libraries, and bookstores in and around Chicago all week long. The performance runs 50 minutes and is followed by a brief discussion. While the program is intended for adults, children in approximately grade 6 and up are welcome to attend.
