The BECC has organised networking and a guided tour of Banned Books, our new member, on the 19th of May. Banned Books, Keelatud Kirjandus, is a museum in Tallinn that preserves banned, censored, and burned books from around the world.   Banned Books, explores the highly relevant topic of literary censorship through telling the stories of these dangerous books and the lives of their authors, providing resources for learning about the history of censorship, contemporary challenges, and the free exchange of ideas.   Museum Director, Joseph Dunnigan, will host a private tour for the BECC of a different section of the museum, sharing stories of censorship from around the world, and highlighting some of his favourite books from the collection. After this, there will be an opportunity to mingle with some light refreshments provided.   Agenda: 18:30 – Welcome to the museum by Joseph Dunnigan 18:40 – Guided Tour Begins 20:00 – Networking and Mingling 21:00 – Event Ends
