Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to read and calls attention to efforts to remove or restrict books in libraries and schools.

Libraries support the freedom to read, explore different perspectives, and make your own choices about what you read.
Explore the American Library Association’s **Most Challenged Books of 2025** and learn more about why these books have been targeted.
