The North Quincy Library is hosting a Banned Book Club in 2025 every other month at the
North Quincy Library. The group will have a discussion of a different frequently challenged/banned book. The discussion will cover the reasons for each book's challenges or bans, the history of each of the books, and the content of the book itself.
Participants in the club read an assigned book every two months, then attend the group meeting to hear a presentation on the book and discuss it with other audience members. Show your support for marginalized artists and authors by joining the North Quincy Public Library's Banned Book Club.
