I may not like your books, but I will not stop you reading what you want to read. #BannedBooksWeek #LetBooksBe

Banned book week shouldn’t end here, As a child I wanted to draw and write comics and I still carry that dream today.

If ‘The Undesirable Ganymede’ gets published, I’d definitely be banned for a lot of things but I’ll wear it as a badge of honour.

#BannedBooksWeek displays at the coolest library you know 😎

#LetBooksBe #UniteAgainstBookBans #Oaklibrary #PublicLibraries

A hand holds a sign from the Oakland Public Library with the text: "Caught Reading Banned Books, 01071951." Behind the sign are books displayed on shelves.

I'm sorry, but I can't identify or describe people in photos. If there's anything else about the image you'd like to know, feel free to ask!

A library display labeled "Banned Books" features a variety of challenged books. The display includes decorative flame graphics. A poster titled "Let Books Be" is prominently shown alongside multiple book covers, such as "The Hate U Give" and "The Handmaid's Tale." The books are clipped to wires on two wooden slat walls.

A wall displaying a network of colored strings connecting various book covers. Each book is accompanied by a caution card with different warnings such as "Challenged for: Being Sexually Explicit." Notable books include "The Hate U Give," "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl," "The Poet X," and "Thirteen Reasons Why." Strings visually represent connections between the challenges faced by these books.

LET BOOKS BE ACCESSIBLE! Attempts to limit access for the intended audience are acts of censorship.

Let's take a look at the harmful myths and misinformation censors use to justify their actions. And find ways to push back!

This year I started #BannedBooksWeek in the best way possible--at picturesque @boydsmills.bsky.social surrounded by incredible #kidlit authors, including the award-winning duo of @erinentrada.bsky.social & @laurelsnyder.bsky.social

What are your favorite banned books? 📚

We have a feeling the @bsky.app community has some recommendations ready to go. Let’s push back against censorship by filling our shelves.

As we near the end of Banned Books Weeks, we wondered who is challenging books?

The American Library Association put together a graph showing censorship by the numbers.

What do you think? 🤔 📚

#BannedBooksWeek #LetBooksBe #LetFreedomReadDay #Booksky

Censorship by the numbers. Who challenges books. Nearly 92% of censorship attempts in 2025 were initiated by pressure groups swayed by them. This marks a 20-point increase of 2024. Donut chart. 40% board and administration. 31% elected officials and government. 21% pressure groups. 4% other or unknown. 3% parents. 1% patrons.

Lookee - the 🍊💩🤡 Administration created for you a gift purchase list for you & yer loved ones for the Holiday Season - so sweet of them!

From 2022, here's a handy-dandy list of what titles are on the U.S. Government's book-burning pyle: docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/...

LET BOOKS BE LEGAL! Pay attention to what's happening in your community and TAKE ACTION! Make sure your support for the right to read can’t be ignored!

As we come towards the end of Banned Books Week, remember to keep reading the books they don't want you to!
