We're partnering with The Silent Book Club to kick off Banned Books Week 2025! Grab your favorite banned book (or ask a bookseller to help you find a new one) and then join our in store read-in. We'll also have templates and other materials for you to write your favorite banned author. Attendees will receive a FREE audiobook of Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books from Libro.fm.
(Dear Banned Author is a letter-writing campaign that encourages readers to write, tweet, or email banned or challenged authors during Banned Books Week and beyond to share what their stories mean to them. Hosted by the American Library Association, Dear Banned Author raises awareness of censorship while supporting the power of words and those who write them. Authors have also shared fan letters as support when there's a public challenge to their books.)
