MORE NEWS AND UPDATES Unite Against Book Bans is a national initiative to empower readers everywhere to stand together in the fight against censorship. We are not alone. On both sides of the aisle, large majorities of voters and parents oppose book bans. 71% of voters oppose efforts to remove books from public libraries. 67% of voters oppose efforts to remove books from school libraries. Full poll results and key findings available via the American Library Association. And yet, attempts to ban books from libraries continue to rise at an unprecedented level across the country. The American Library Association reported 1,269 attempts to censor library books and resources in 2022, the highest number of attempted book bans since ALA began compiling data about censorship in libraries more than 20 years ago. Book bans harm communities. Students cannot access critical information to help them understand themselves and the world around them. Parents lose the opportunity to engage in teachable moments with their kids. And communities lose the opportunity to learn and build mutual understanding. Although book bans are nothing new, there were more censorship attempts in 2022 than at any time since the American Library Association began tracking more than two decades ago. If you believe... Books are tools for understanding complex issues. Young people deserve to see themselves reflected in a library’s books. Parents should not be making decisions for other parents’ children. Individuals should be trusted to make their own decisions about what to read. Limiting young people’s access to books does not protect them from life’s complex and challenging issues. JOIN THE FIGHT Empowered by Reading There are many important benefits of providing children and youth with a wide variety of developmentally appropriate reading materials - books which reflect their personal life experiences, as well a the experiences, stories, and histories of others in and beyond their communities.
