Wrap-up Banned Book Week with Bookends: Literature & Libations at Gasparilla Distillery on Saturday, September 28 from 5-7 pm. We’re planning a fun filled evening around a serious topic. Stop by to find out what actions you can take against censorship and book bans.

5:00-6:00 pm - Peruse our selection of banned books and merch, give a blind date with a book a try, sip on a cocktail, partake in banned bookmark crafting, and join the line up.

6:00-7:00 pm – Censorship Talk & Banned Book BINGO

7:00-8:00 – Partake in a banned book read out and spoken word, followed by an open mic discussion to give you an opportunity to share how a banned book has touched your life.

Happy hour is from 4-7 pm ($4 off cocktails).
