Join Kim Brillante Knight, PhD, Associate Professor of Digital Humanities in grabbing a banned book, or any book really. Pack your favorite blanket. And join us on the Smith & Carlos lawn for a silent reading experience. We’ll do 15 minutes of introductions / socializing. Then read quietly together for an hour. Then spend 15 minutes discussing what we read. This event is sponsored by the Department of Humanities.

Join the SJSU King Library and the San José Public Library — in partnership with the SJSU Pride Center, SJSU College of the Humanities & the Arts, SJSU Department of Humanities, SJSU Center for Steinbeck Studies, SJSU School of Information, Santa Clara City Library, California State Senator Dave Cortese, SJSU Department of English & Comparative Literature, SJSU Department of African American Studies, SJSU Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies, and the SJSU Artistic Excellence Programming Grants — as we celebrate Banned Books Week with a week's worth of events highlighting our right to read freely.
