Banned books are important books, and we want our kids to read them. We want them to be independent thinkers who can face challenges and embrace new ideas. Let’s join together to discuss these books and create critical minds.

Our next book will be The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The discussion will be led by Gini Gottman, who is the Director of Lifelong Learning at Toledo Unitarians. Parents are welcome to stay and listen while kids examine the language, the plot, the message and more!
