Banned Book Club
April 8 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm EDT
The book selection for Monday, April 8th 2024 is On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the Twentieth Century, Graphic Edition. The author is Timothy Snyder, with illustrations by Nora Krug.
“A more concise, profound, or essential book on the subject does not exist.
Snyder’s masterwork is a stunning reminder of the myriad, insidious forms oppression takes.
Now beautifully illustrated by Nora Krug, On Tyranny is a bellwether for
what we must be awake to, and fight against.”
Please note that this meeting will take place in the Community Room at the Moss Memorial Library. Entrance will be via the door on the same side as The Friends of the Library Book Store.
