Please join us for San Diego Public Library's 1st Pop-Up Freedom to Read Frenzy. Twenty-five San Diego Local Authors will share their pledge to take an action to Let Freedom Read! In a flash presentation, each author will have exactly one minute to introduce themselves, state their favorite banned book and make a commitment to take an action in the fight against book bans. Audience members, both virtually and in person will be invited to make their pledge for action by adding their name to our Banned Book Action Board!
