Freedom To Read Week – Youth Forum with Ryan Kerr
Please join us at the North York Central Library (5120 Yonge st) on Wednesday February 27th from 7-8:25 P.M. for a youth forum on censorship and access to materials in honour of Freedom to Read week.
The forum will be hosted by local author Ryan Kerr (his first book
"On Growin' Up" was just published) who will be discussing his own work
and the different ways that censorship can'take form. Also local youth
will be discussing different books that have been banned or censored
and encouraging discussion as to what this means and why access to
materials should be allowed and for decisions on content to be made by
the individual and not by a lobbying group.
The forum will take place in Room 1 in the library
and discussion is encouraged. This program is for teens aged 13-19 but
older people will also be permitted if room is available.
