Join us for a discussion of The Grapes of Wrath led by Toby Zabinski in celebration of Banned Books Week. John Steinbeck's 1939 classic, which chronicles an Oklahoma family's hapless migration westward, was an immediate best-seller around the country, but it was also banned and burned in a number of places, including Kern County, California - the endpoint of the Joad family's migration. September 30 marks the beginning of the American Library Association's annual "Banned Books Week," a commemoration of all the books that have ever been removed from library shelves and classrooms or banned by governments.
