This week marks Banned Books Week, a national campaign that celebrates the freedom to read and raises awareness about the growing movement to challenge or remove books from schools and libraries across the country.
The initiative encourages readers, educators, and community members to stand up for open access to information and to support authors whose work sparks thought, discussion, and sometimes controversy. It’s also a reminder that protecting the right to read means protecting every individual’s ability to explore different perspectives and ideas.
