Banned Book Fair

Join Townie Books for an evening of literature, libations, and rebellion at the Banned Book Fair, hosted in collaboration with the Melanin Mountain Project. This event celebrates the freedom to read and the power of storytelling in shaping our democracy.

Look forward to:

•  Banned Books: Explore a curated selection of titles that have challenged societal norms and faced censorship.

•  Books on Democracy: Engage with literature that examines the state of democracy and ways to protect and strengthen it.

•  Literary-Themed Drinks: Enjoy creative cocktails inspired by classic and contemporary literature.

•  Banned Book Swag: Take home unique banned book-themed merchandise.

The Melanin Mountain Project is a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to promoting inclusion and equity in the Gunnison Valley. Through community traditions, entertainment, and outdoor spaces, they work to elevate Black voices and create an equitable community for all.

Don’t miss this opportunity to support free expression and engage in meaningful conversations about literature and democracy. See you there!
