SUMMARY:An Afternoon with Amanda Jones!
DESCRIPTION:LCAC is partnering with Cavalier House Books to sponsor An Afternoon with Amanda Jones\, celebrating the paperback release of her bestselling book\, That Librarian. From Cavalier’s description: \nWe’re celebrating Banned Books Week at CHB Lafayette with special guest Amanda Jones! \nAmanda will be in the store at 1 p.m. on Oct. 4 to discuss and sign her topical book\, That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America in a Q&A moderated by Lynette Mejia and Melanie Brevis (both with Lafayette Citizens Against Censorship)! \nThat Librarian chronicles Amanda’s fight against the Livingston Parish Library Board as she stood up for diverse voices being featured on the libraries’ shelves. In the book\, she shines a spotlight on the national book banning crisis plaguing the U.S. and calls on readers to rise up in defense of books. \nAmanda’s visit will coincide with the release of the paperback version of That Librarian\, which can be pre-ordered by 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 3 through Bon Temps Tix! Remaining copies will be available in the bookshop for the event.

SUMMARY:October 2025 Banned Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us each month for thought-provoking discussions in the Banned Book Club\, where we will explore the powerful stories and ideas that have been silenced by book bans across America. Every month\, we’ll dive into either a book currently banned or one that examines the culture of censorship and its impact on society. Together\, we’ll challenge the limits of free expression\, reflect on the importance of diverse voices\, and discuss why certain books are under attack. Whether you’re reading for pleasure or actively seeking ideas outside your comfort zone\, each meeting offers a space for open dialogue\, critical thinking\, and a deeper understanding of the books that shape our world. Come ready to read\, reflect\, and resist! \nOur October book is Maus by Art Spiegelman. Stop in or order your copy from Cavalier House Books Lafayette today! \nThe Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman\, a Jewish survivor of Hitler’s Europe\, and his son\, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father’s story. Maus approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. Its form\, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats\, the Jews mice)\, shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in “drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust” (The New York Times). \nMaus is a haunting tale within a tale. Vladek’s harrowing story of survival is woven into the author’s account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. Against the backdrop of guilt brought by survival\, they stage a normal life of small arguments and unhappy visits. This astonishing retelling of our century’s grisliest news is a story of survival\, not only of Vladek but of the children who survive even the survivors. Maus studies the bloody pawprints of history and tracks its meaning for all of us. (Amazon) \nCheck out Unite Against Book Bans’ book resumé for Maus.
