In recognition of Banned Books Week, join us at the Muskegon Museum of Art for a screening of To Be Destroyed, a short film that follows Dave Eggers as he meets with students and teachers in the Rapid City, SD school district where his novel The Circle was pulled from shelves. Through footage of heated school board meetings, community rallies and interviews with locals, we learn how these books were designated “to be destroyed." Following the screening, a panel of Muskegon public and school librarians and administrators will discuss local experiences with book challenges, access to information, and the ongoing importance of freedom of speech and the freedom to read.To Be Destroyed is a documentary which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was broadcast on MSNBC in August 2024.
