Program Description

As Banned Book Week approaches, did you know the Charlotte Brontë's book Jane Eyre has been scrutinized for some of its contest- with some universities slapping it with a warning? Visit with Charlotte in 1847, portrayed by Laura Keyes, as she reflects on her emotionally-charged experiences as both student and teacher at various boarding schools. Share with her the joy of seeing her deeply personal novel, Jane Eyre, in published form.

Laura Keyes graduated from Northern Illinois University with a BA in English Literature, and from UW-Madison with a Master’s Degree in Library Studies. She is a Librarian in Central Illinois.
