 \;<br />&nbsp\;<br />This program is intended to align with both LGBTQ+ Hi
 story Month and the celebration of The USA's Semiquincentennial (America's
  250th&nbsp\;Anniversary!). The inspiration for this event was the traveli
 ng exhibit of the Let Freedom Read&nbsp\;Dress\, a&nbsp\;dress&nbsp\;which
  was designed to symbolize the entwinement of American and Queer history\,
  as well as to highlight the importance of protecting the freedom to read.
  The&nbsp\;dress&nbsp\;is based on colonial styles from America's history\
 , and features the titles of 13 books which were identified as the most co
 mmonly challenged books in the USA according to the American Library Assoc
 iation in 2022. The&nbsp\;dress&nbsp\;was designed and famously modeled by
  LGBTQ+ Americans.&nbsp\;</p>\nhttps://aurora.libnet.info/event/17192319
