Center for Contemporary Culture

The next A Response and a Call, Story Power: Reclaiming the Narrative, will be held during Banned Books Week on Thursday, September 26.

A Response and Call will feature a lively conversation with a panel of community members and artists of color, spanning generations exploring the critical ways that books help us recognize and affirm culture and identity and how libraries create communities of growth, empathy, and compassion.


The event will celebrate the language of movement with an excerpt from Books and Other Endangered Species, JDPP’s latest work-in-progress, as well as images and
voices from Hartford seniors and youth helping us to celebrate books and the power of our stories.

About the branch

Hartford Public Library’s history spans more than 235 years. We can trace its very beginnings to the Library Company, formally organized in 1774 by a few subscribers to purchase a "collection of useful and religious books". And now, the library is a national leader in redefining the urban public library in the 21st century as an innovative and stimulating place where people can learn and discover, explore their passions, and find a rich array of resources that contribute to a full life.
