“Censorship reflects a society’s lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime . . . .” — Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart (1966) #1stAmendment #BannedBooksWeek #Censorship #Authoritarianism

There’s a big difference between choosing age-appropriate materials and treating the existence of LGBTQ+ people as inappropriate.
Seeing themselves reflected in the pages of a book can mean everything.

I'm still completely censored here. Irony: it's probably because I showed #BannedBooksWeek to be fake

Libraries & online sellers have all of those "banned" books. This is just about groomers who want kids to see explicit material.

Ask those groomers if they also support kids seeing R-rated movies.

There's no #BannedBooksWeek in Hong Kong because there is no list of banned books. It's difficult to report on books banned or removed from libraries in Hong Kong, but maybe a constructive approach might be for a journalist or news organisation to compile a list of books that are Not Accessible.

My shero - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg!!! #BannedBooksWeek. In her name, let's all get loud about book banning! Thank you

Banned Books Week used to be fun.
We celebrated it with delight.
Today, the stakes feel very different. The freedom to read should never be taken for granted, and there is no doubt that it has been challenged.

This book is making me feel ill, but in 1954 these comic books were heavily restricted due to their gruesome content, ostensibly marketed towards children.
I dunno. I think this was supposed to attract an adult audience.
I’m hoping I can get through it. It’s scarier than expected.

#BannedBooksWeek

It's the last day of Banned Books Week 2026 and I am outraged. My kids found this book in our library! Rape, incest, threesomes, drunkenness and debauchery?

For #bannedbooksweek I got a new library card at Contra Costa County’s Public Library

I’m eternally grateful to authors, publishers, booksellers, librarians, libraries, and my mom, who taught me to love reading books and learning. She loved to read too. She took me to our local public library often
