Waterford’s Banned Book Book Club
Meeting at the Davies Memorial Library
Meets every two months
Do you have any idea how many books have been banned or challenged in the United States of America? The answer: Countless. A quick Google search will enlighten and disappoint you; give it a try.
All are invited to participate in Waterford’s Banned Book Book Club (you don’t have to live in Waterford). We will meet once, every 2 months, to discuss our past read and to pick our next book. Most books will be available at your public library-YAY for public libraries!
Our first book is The Handmaid’s Tale. I read this when it was first released and look forward to revisiting it. Context and timing will certainly play into my 2025 perception. I am curious to hear how others feel about it. Hope to hear back from you. – Robin Migdelany
