Join us in celebrating Banned Books Week with a keynote and discussion of America’s most banned book of 2023, Gender Queer, a graphic memoir by Maia Kobabe. The memoir is a reflection of the author’s journey to find their identity in a gender-binary world where nothing feels quite right. Dr. Gonzalez will present on the “why” of book bans in the US, the contents of the books that are banned and the themes throughout Kobabe’s book. We will then engage in a discussion about the book and its impact on each one of us. Gender Queer is available at the McKillop Library, as well as many public libraries in the area!
