Books Not Banned: Stories Under Threat, Communities in Action

Books Not Banned is more than just a panel—it’s a rallying point for anyone who believes in the power of stories and the right to read them. Join Lovestruck Books for an evening of thoughtful conversation, community advocacy and a celebration of books that challenge, inspire and sometimes ruffle a few feathers.

Featuring author and advocate against book bans and soft-censorship, Federico Erebia, the ACLU of Massachusetts’ Liv Santoro, and moderator Meena Jain of Ashland Public Library, this event dives into the realities of book bans and the communities pushing back. Come for the conversation, stay for the Q&A, tabling, and their special in-store displays—including Blind Date with a Banned Book!
