Books Unite Us 2022 Poster

Banned Books Week is September 18 – 24, 2022

Books unite us. Books encourage boundless exploration and allow readers to spread their wings. Stories give flight to new ideas and perspectives. Reading—especially books that set us free—expands our worldview. Censorship, on the other hand, locks away our freedom and divides us from humanity in our own cages.

Banned Books Week is an annual event that celebrates the freedom to read and draws attention to the harms of censorship. Use this liberating poster to stimulate discussions and bring readers together to support the freedom to read. Learn more at ala.org/bbooks.
