The freedom to read is worth protecting.

In 2025, the American Library Association documented 5,668 books banned from libraries, the highest number of titles censored in a single year since ALA began compiling censorship data in 1990. Banned Books Week is a reminder of the important role our libraries play in protecting access to information and ensuring everyone in our community has the opportunity to explore ideas, discover new perspectives, and choose what they read. This Banned Books Week, take action by reading a challenged or banned book, talk about why access to books matters, and continue showing up for your local library. Let books be. Protect the freedom to read.
