De-Circulated: An Interpretation of Banned Books

May 30 – September 8, 2024

Opening Reception May 30 | 6 – 8 pm
Closing Party September 8

Artworks by Karen Duncan Pape and posters by Jeanne Criscola and featuring favorite banned books from the Library and our Community.

What books are being banned and where? See Karen Pape’s updated list here.

A ticketed adult-only event related to the show—a banned book burlesque cabaret by Madame Thalia and friends. For this live performance the library will be transformed into a multi-media speakeasy. You don’t want to miss this.

This event is free and open to the public; we do want to remind people who’ve never been here before that the Institute Library can only be reached by walking up a flight of stairs, and the Library is not ADA-compliant.
