Fun Home Part 1: Why It's Banned

In this episode of the Rogue Librarians we discuss the graphic memoir 'Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic,' by Alison Bechdel.  We look at why the book has been banned and discuss the pros and cons.  For a full discussion of the book, listen to the next episode. 

Our new segment, Banned Bits: News Bits from the Ban-o-sphere discusses the article 

“Re-inventing the book ban” by Victoria Sutton  and Levi \"Calm Before the Storm\" Rickert (Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation) and the book “Colonization and the Wampanoag Story,”  by Linda Coombs.

We also thought you might like to know more about the Broadway Musical “Fun Home”,  and its accompanying soundtrack.
