Last night, Troy's Work Table joined other members of the community at the Puyallup Public Library to read challenged or banned books as part of the Banned Books Week Read Out! TWT read chapter four ("The Counterpane") of Moby-Dick as Herman Melville. Some of the teen members of the audience loved the chapter and now want to read the novel.
The books and the readings were varied, but each was obviously chosen by someone with a love and a passion for reading. Adults and teens read, as well as a nine-year-old girl who read a hilarious chapter book. Three of the five members of the library board read, a library employee read, citizens of Puyallup read, and a gentleman from Tukwila who "loves your small gem of a city" read.
It was a true celebration of reading and the freedom to read.
