TAKE ACTION AND RESOURCES
SUPPORT YOUR LIBRARY
Supporting your public library is crucial in the fight against censorship and in maintaining a vital community resource. Libraries are not just places to borrow books—they provide essential services like access to technology, educational programs, and safe spaces for all ages. They foster lifelong learning, offering everything from job search assistance to workshops on digital literacy. By advocating for and defending libraries, we help ensure they remain centers of intellectual freedom and community support, where people can explore diverse ideas and services without restrictions. Supporting your library strengthens both access to information and the social fabric of the community.
CELEBRATE BANNED BOOKS WEEK
Banned Books Week is an annual event that celebrates the freedom to read and raises awareness about the dangers of censorship. Held in libraries, schools, and bookstores across the country, it highlights books that have been challenged or banned in an effort to remove them from public access due to controversial content. The week serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting the right to access diverse ideas and viewpoints, encouraging readers to reflect on how censorship can limit intellectual freedom. By celebrating Banned Books Week, communities come together to advocate for open access to information and stand against efforts to suppress creative expression.
