The History of Banned Books: A Discussion (CANCELLED)

  • Book + Bottle 17 6th Street North St. Petersburg, FL, 33701 United States (map)
A History of Banned Books

Sadly, due to scheduling, we won’t be able to host this event this year! But, we will be open 12-7PM Sunday with our banned book cocktails live, and with plenty of amazing books for sale!

Burned books, challenged topics, restricted pages. This isn’t a dystopian novel like 1984 (which is an often banned or challenged book) - this is how people have tried to censor literature just this past summer.

We at Book + Bottle champion reading and always want to be a source of expression and different perspectives, so for Banned Books Week we are hosting a discussion + Q & A about the history of banned books and a talk about our favorites and why. We will be opening early and partnering with FL Humanities to provide an informative conversation about the why and how of banned books.

Come and get settled in, grab a coffee (or mimosa), and gain some knowledge!

Earlier Event: September 17
Banned Book Fair!
Later Event: September 19
closed mondays.
