Authors Against Book Bans is a nonpartisan grassroots coalition of writers, illustrators, anthology editors and book creators who stand against limitations against reading.
The event will include guest readings, where attendees will hear excerpts from Idaho authors of their works. The event will also feature book giveaways and opportunities to register to vote with the help of members from the League of Women Voters.
