Join us as we celebrate Banned Books Week, October 4–10, 2026. This year’s theme is “Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read.”
On Tuesday, October 6, we invite you to proclaim your joy of reading during our all-day Banned Bookathon. Sign up for a 15-minute timeslot(s) to read from your favorite banned book.
Need inspiration? Check out this list of the top 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books: 2010-2019 or one of our banned books displays.
All bookathon readers will be entered into a raffle to win a Banned Book Bundle with some of our librarians’ favorite “banned” items!
We hope you’ll join us in standing up for – and celebrating – our freedom to read!
