Celebrate the Freedom to Read with Mayor Justin Wilson and Library Director Rose Dawson.

The Alexandria Library, in partnership with the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Association, is hosting its annual Banned Books Read-Out at the Athenaeum.

You are invited to join Honorary Host Mayor Justin Wilson, Library Director Rose Dawson and others who will read from banned books to celebrate the freedom to read. You may read 3-5 minute selections from a banned or challenged book or just come to listen.

If you would like to read please RSVP with your selection to kdow@alexlibraryva.org by September 20th.
