Enjoy your freedom to read freely? Join us for a book discussion about a recent target of book banning: Maus: A Survivor's Tale #1 \;by Art Spiegelman. This critically- acclaimed graphic novel is Spiegelman's compelling retelling of his father Vladek&rsquo\;s life story\, that of a middle-class Polish Jew who surviv ed the Nazi death camps. The first six chapters employ a simple\, chilling ly effective iconography: Jews have the faces of mice\; the Nazis\, those of cats. \;

\n

In addition to talking about the book's story\, ch aracters\, format\, and themes\, we'll discuss the recent surge in book ch allenges and bans across the country\, using \;Maus as a case study.

\n

While supplies last\, books will be available for checkout at the Advanced Learning Library starting August 31\, 2026. For more info rmation on how to register for the book discussion and check out a reserve d copy\, call 316-261-8500 and ask to speak with the book set coordinator or with Adult Literacies Manager Steven Kelly. \;
