Banned Books Week is an annual event that highlights the value of free and open access to information. First launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of book challenges, it is endorsed by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress.

We find ourselves, each other, and freedom in reading. Join the entire book community — librarians, educators, authors, publishers, booksellers, and readers of all types — in supporting the freedom to seek and to express ideas.
