Banned Books talk with Harry-Anne & guests

Join publisher and librarian, Harry-Anne (Dragonhide Studios) for a talk about the past and present of book bans. Hear about the history of puritanism, anti-gay bans on children's books and the Nazi book burnings. Harry-Anne will be joined by special guest(s) to chat about the modern British perspective including the social pressures and cyber bullying aspects of book banning.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A and you will be able to browse and purchase (banned!) books.

Date: Monday 11th November 2024
Time: 7-9pm
Venue: The Bookish Type, 77a Great George Street, LS1 3BR
