@bannedbooksweek.bsky.socialReposted by @ifrt-ala.bsky.socialToday is Let Freedom Read Day. It's also the last day of Banned Books Week.
We know books bans won't miraculously stop today. Whether you have 5 minutes or an hour, do one small thing today to fight book bans!

@amlibraryassoc.bsky.socialReposted by @ifrt-ala.bsky.socialThis year’s #BannedBooksWeek coincides with ALA’s official 150th anniversary. To mark the occasion, ALA has released a list of the 150 most challenged books documented from 1990, when ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom began tracking book challenges, through 2025.
@ifrt-ala.bsky.socialJoin ALA Round Tables for a day of virtual programs about critical environmental, social, and political issues impacting libraries (it’ll be fun, we swear!). October 16, 10a-4:30p CT. No registration necessary, tune in live on YouTube or Twitch: @ALAGameRT
