Join the Memphis Library Foundation for an unforgettable evening celebrating the power of literature and the importance of intellectual freedom. Cocktails & Conversation transforms banned and challenged books into a sophisticated culinary and cultural experience that honors stories once silenced.
What to Expect:
- Banned Book-Inspired Menu: Savor creative cocktails and artisanal bites inspired by classics like Fahrenheit 451, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Color Purple
- Interactive Literary Experience: Explore "The Banned Book Gallery," share reflections at our "Censorship Confessions Wall," and discover why these powerful stories faced censorship
- Immersive Atmosphere: Step into "The Censored Lounge" with thoughtfully curated décor, literary-themed photo opportunities, and live jazz accompaniment
This isn't just a fundraiser—it's a celebration of the transformative power of literature and a reminder that every story deserves to be heard. Proceeds support the Memphis Library Foundation's mission to ensure equitable access to books, programs, and resources for our entire community.
