@stetchat.comIt's #BannedBooksWeek!
A handful of people shouldn't be allowed to dictate what the rest of us can read! Organized groups have used fear and disinformation to silence stories & remove books from libraries, schools, & bookstores. Why can’t they just let books be? bannedbooksweek.org/let-freedom-...
@cdendy76.bsky.socialThe next challenged #picturebook for #BannedBooksWeek is my favorite Dr. Seuss: The Butter Battle Book!

Growing up in West Germany with the Wall encircling West Berlin, it meant something. It still does.
@cdendy76.bsky.socialNext up in challenged#picturebooks to celebrate #BannedBooksWeek: Carmela Full of Wishes!
@library.cmu.eduThe theme for #BannedBooksWeek 2026 (October 4-10) is “Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read.”
Book bans are certainly not a new phenomenon; people have challenged or banned books since the beginning of the written word.

@monty504.bsky.socialIn honor of #BannedBooksWeek I’m sharing one of my favorite books about Palestine each day:
Day 5
“Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid” by Jimmy Carter
@justineisinger.bsky.socialHelp the fight against banned books!
In Chicago at ALA this summer I had a chance to share my thoughts on banned books from the @bannedbooksweek.bsky.social big chair.
Can you tell I was nervous?! Ha!
@leafle.orgGood guess! But also it is #bannedbooksweek, so interesting to reflect on it having been suppressed at one time and make sure we watch for and defend against that here and now.
@excelafrica.bsky.socialThis is #BannedBooksWeek

@sptroweresq.bsky.socialIt's not remotely the same, but the #BannedBooksWeek posts have reminded me of the time the church book shop in my town wouldn't stock my Old Testament Space Opera.
Presumably because of all the sex, drugs, and violence.
In hindsight maybe I shouldn't have followed the source material so closely...
@dancoopcoop.bsky.socialFahrenheit 451 is a great book. I'd encourage anyone to read it. #BannedBooksWeek #GreatReads

@ownerofh.bsky.social#QOTD for October 8, 2026, is from #BannedBookClub by #KimHyunSook, #KoHyung-Ju, and #RyanEstrada in honor of #BannedBooksWeek “Do they ban books because they see danger in their authors, or because they see themselves in their villains?"
@misternatural.bsky.socialCarol Swain's brilliant graphic novel Gast is about a young girl's quest to uncover the life of a reclusive, cross-dressing Welsh farmer who committed suicide.

@sidheworld.comFor many students, families, educators, librarians, and school districts, book banning is a new normal.
Fight back! Buy a banned book. Read. Pass it on.

@thelondonlibrary.bsky.socialFor #bannedbooksweek here's a piece of censorship history: "the first English prose pornography" Fanny Hill. Upon publication in 1748 the author and publisher were arrested for "corrupting the King's subjects". Pirate editions circulated widely, including the Library's 1888 Paris edition, pictured.

@lsepress.bsky.socialFor #BannedBooksWeek we’re highlighting Reading Wars by Don Herzog 📚
From Reformation England to contemporary book bans, Herzog explores the long history of attempts to control who can read and what they can read, and what this reveals about equality and freedom.
