This December, YWCA Mankato invites you back to our Adult Banned Book Club for a deep and powerful discussion of Part 2 of Beloved by Toni Morrison.

Beloved is a journey into memory, trauma, survival, and the strength it takes to heal and reclaim one’s identity. This book was once challenged and censored, and that’s all the more reason to read it together.

Expect a night unlike any other: raw honesty, courageous conversation, and the kind of connection that can only come when we read with open hearts and open minds.

Why come? Because stories like this remind us: reading isn’t passive. It’s resistance. It’s community. It’s power.
