Banned Books

Unite Against Book Bans is a national initiative to empower readers everywhere to stand together in the fight against censorship.

Banned Books Week offers an opportunity for readers to voice censorship concerns, celebrate free expression and show their communities the importance of intellectual freedom. Here’s what you can do to fight censorship, keep books available in libraries, and promote the freedom to read!

The Authors Guild advocates for the rights of professional writers to create, publish, and earn a sustainable living as fiction and nonfiction writers, poets, translators, and journalists. Book banning, whether challenged by the right or the left, interferes with those rights, not only by suppressing free speech and freedom of expression but by making it harder for authors to sell copies of their work.

Offers actionable steps you can take to stop book censorship.

Find the areas hit hardest by book bans and the nearest Little Free Library book-sharing box locations.

Donate books or start up a small little banned book library.

The Authors Guild Banned Books Club is a free virtual book club on the Fable social reading app. Each month, the Banned Books Club presents a different work of fiction or nonfiction recently barred in one or more U.S. school districts or states.
