Banned Books Week 2025

 

Banned Books Week. Oct 5-11, 2025. Censorship is so 1984. Read for your rights. ALA.org/BBooks

 

The theme for Banned Books Week 2025 is "Censorship is so 1984: Read for Your Rights." When we ban books, we're closing off readers to people, places, and perspectives. But when we stand up for stories, we unleash the power that lies inside every book. We liberate the array of voices that need to be heard and the scenes that need to be seen. The right to read belongs to all of us!
