Calling all banned books readers AND quilters: we want to celebrate #bannedbooksweek all month long with you!

Let us know your favorite banned book in the comments, and come visit the JCEC room on the second floor at Carnegie Main (in Oakland) to participate in our banned books activity all October long. We're asking members of our community to decorate a fabric square representing their favorite banned book to be part of a community "quilt" project by CLP! Materials provided (while supplies last).

You can decorate your square and then make a trip upstairs to our Local History & Genealogy Department on October 24th from 10am-4pm for our Quilt Documentation Day. You can browse old quilts, meet local quilters, and connect with area quilting guilds!

Whether it's books or quilts, our resources will always be FOR THE PEOPLE.
