In an initiative to combat the rising trend of book censorship, Four Seasons Books in Shepherdstown is launching a Banned Book Club to engage readers in discussions about challenged literature. This club will meet monthly from March to June, featuring notable selections like 'Fahrenheit 451' and 'The Handmaid's Tale,' while also offering a Banned Book Storytime for younger audiences to explore diverse narratives. With plans to collaborate with local libraries and free speech organizations, this effort seeks to emphasize the importance of intellectual freedom and encourage community members, including those from nearby towns like Ranson and Charles Town, to participate in meaningful conversations.
