"What's illegal about that?"
Reading and discussion on World Book Day as part of the "Banned books" exhibition
The list of books banned from US libraries in 2024 comprised 2,452 titles. These included classics of American literature such as John Steinbeck and Mark Twain. Claudia Kowalzyck (Commissioner for Families, Senior Citizens and Equality) and Anja Mirasch (Head of the City Library) will read from "Banned books" and invite you to talk about these books on questions such as "Who decides what can be read?" or "How does censorship influence education and democratic coexistence?".
In 1995, UNESCO declared 23 April "World Book Day", a global holiday for reading, books and the rights of authors. Admission free.
