BANNED BOOK CLUB

Banned Book Club

Join GLO at our Banned Book Club where we read and discuss books that have been or could be banned. We meet at The GLO Center every first Sunday of the month from 12 – 1:30 p.m.

This is a SAFE SPACE and is open to allies and open-minded individuals. The GLO Center works hard to provide a safe environment for its community. All who are willing to listen and add to the atmosphere in a safe and open manner are welcome!
