Share what books you will be reading this year for Banned Book week.
Banned Books Week, will take place from October 5–11, 2025, under the theme "Censorship Is So 1984 — Read for Your Rights". Organized by the American Library Association (ALA), Banned Books Week brings together librarians, booksellers, publishers, and readers to defend the right to access ideas, even those considered controversial. What Banned Books Week is about:
Celebrating the Freedom to Read: The event highlights the importance of intellectual freedom and the right to access a wide range of information.
Spotlighting Censorship: It focuses on current and historical efforts to remove books from libraries, schools, and bookstores.
Promoting Open Access to Ideas: Banned Books Week emphasizes the value of having public access to diverse viewpoints, allowing individuals to form their own conclusions.
How to participate:
Take Action: You can take at least one action to defend books from censorship and stand up for library staff, educators, writers, publishers, and booksellers, using hashtags like #LetFreedomReadDay and #BannedBooksWeek.
Stay Informed: The ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom compiles lists of challenged books, which can be found on the Banned Books Week website, providing data and insights into censorship trends.
Support Libraries and Booksellers: Show your support by visiting libraries, buying books, and engaging in activities that promote the freedom to read.
I got ten. I might try for 12.
