"Through the coming year, the public library system here in Washington DC is
hosting a Centennial Celebration of the life and works of James Baldwin, born
on August 2, 1924. This week, libraries in DC are having events as part the
nationally designated Banned Books Week. One of our local libraries opened the
week with a reading from James Baldwin’s works.
I had heard about banned books readings at other libraries across the country
and decided to see one for myself.
The Georgetown neighborhood library in Washington is in a classic, elegant
Georgian-style building, on an intersection where commercial meets residential.
It’s a toney locale, but each time you go inside, the diverse collection of
customers reminds you that this is a public library first, and located in
Georgetown second. During the winter, when the library had to close for
emergencies, I read a sign posted on the door listing places where people who
they knew spent their days there, might go to seek shelter from the cold.
I had no idea what to expect from the book reading. Here is what I found."
