Good News Arts is pleased to begin this new project, providing our community with access to books that have been banned in Florida -

Limiting access to books which provide stories that educate us on history, people, and experiences that help us better to understand our world and others is a travesty and Good News Arts is here to make sure that our community has access to those stories!

with great thanks to Firestorm Books for supporting this amazing cause.

From Firestorm:

“There is a direct connection between the books that are being banned and the escalation of violent or even deadly assaults on the people whose lives are reflected on their pages. Finding good homes for these books, some 45 different titles exploring topics ranging from racism, and colonialism to radical history and visionary organizing, is one of many ways to defend kids and fight for a far better world.”

The Too Cool for School - Banned Book Club will meet every 1st Thursday at 6pm at Good News Arts.

Details:

• The Book Club is Open to all ages and we encourage parents to attend and reflect alongside their children.

• The Book club will begin with 30 minutes of reading and reflecting on pictures books, ideal for ages 4-8.

• The following hour will be reading from a chapter book ideal for ages 8-12.

• Children and families will be invited to take home books from our collection.

• Each month we will focus on a different theme.
