Celebrate our Freedom to Read! In-Person

Come see a panel of author Abdi Nazemian and faculty to discuss the issue of book challenges and bans across the country. Don't miss this chance to explore the importance of intellectual freedom, followed by a book sale and signing. Featured author Abdi Nazemian writes about a variety of subjects including his personal experiences as a queer Iranian-American, and the power of creativity. He is the award winning author of Like A Love Story and Only This Beautiful Moment and says of writing books and writing and producing movies and television that it "makes me feel like an eternal child, and I am grateful for every reader and viewer. I am committed to telling diverse stories that reflect the breadth of human experience.” See more about Abdi at https://www.abdinazemian.com/
