Across the U.S., books are being removed from school and public library shelves at an unprecedented rate—especially titles that explore race, gender, history, identity, and lived experience. This censorship limits what teens can learn, question, and explore.
Books Unbanned responds to book censorship by making sure teens can read freely, even when access is restricted locally. The program supports teens’ rights to read what they choose, think critically, and engage with peers across the country who care about intellectual freedom.
