The Seattle Public Library invites you to join Teach Truth Days of Action programs on three Saturdays in June. Help us celebrate the freedom to read and learn through teach-ins, a documentary screening, story times, artmaking, and a silent-read-in and flash mob.

“We are so excited to participate in the national Teach Truth Days of Action, especially in this time of widespread censorship and misinformation,” said Emily Grayson, history librarian. “Youth deserve to see themselves reflected in books and to learn accurate history so they have the knowledge to create a more just society. Public libraries play a crucial role in upholding those rights.

All library events are free and open to the public. Registration is not required for any of the Library’s Teach Truth event. Details are below. (Editor’s note: This is the only one in West Seattle)

Freedom to Read Story Time. Saturday, June 21, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. High Point Branch. We will read inclusive picture books that celebrate the freedom to read. Parents and caregivers can learn about other books that have faced book challenges.
