Virtual – “Banning Books in America: Not a How To” with Author Samuel Cohen (Town-Wide Read) We all have thoughts and feelings about the rise of book bannings in America so this is a great opportunity to have a discussion about it! Join author and professor, Samuel Cohen, for a conversation on his most recent release, Banning Books in America: Not a How-to, which is a book about banned books in the U.S. – about reading them, teaching them, and lending them under the shadow of political pressure not to. Bring your questions as Sam will have answers (or, at least, thoughtful responses that will make us think) to them. We hope you can join us for this important topic. This program will be recorded and the video will be available for two (2) weeks. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library in collaboration with other MA public libraries, including the Nahant Public Library. Register HERE

Nahant Public Library Town-Wide Read Book Discussion Thursday May 28 at 5pm In a series of programming for May’s Town Wide-Read, surrounding the book, The Library Book by Susan Orlean, we will be discussing the book. Refreshments will be served. Everyone is welcome. “Brimming with her signature wit, insight, compassion, and talent for deep research, The Library Book is Susan Orlean’s thrilling journey through the stacks that reveals how these beloved institutions provide much more than just books—and why they remain an essential part of the heart, mind, and soul of our country. It is also a master journalist’s reminder that, perhaps especially in the digital era, they are more necessary than ever.” -From Goodreads
