Freedom to Read Week Book Discussion: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

About this event

Gathering Room. In a future society where books are banned and burned, fireman Guy Montag begins to question censorship and the shallow, technology-driven world around him after meeting a curious young neighbor with a different set of values. As Montag secretly reads the books he is supposed to destroy, he struggles to find human connection, knowledge, and meaning in his society that discourages independent thought. This classic novel examines conformity, the importance of literature, and critical thinking. Live in-person. Registration required. Books available at the Library.
