Banned Books Week: October 5-11

Banned Books Week: Oct 5-11, 2025 Banner


Banned Books Week 2025 will focus on featuring books that highlight and uplift the LGBTQ+ community. By displaying these banned books, our community can show solidarity and bring awareness to the ongoing censorship and prejudice happening in the US. It is also crucial to remember that the freedom to read and speak your mind is one of the fundamental pillars of our society. Please keep in mind the words of 2025’s Banned Books Week Honorary Chair, George Takei, from his graphic memoir They Called Us Enemy, "people can do great things, George. They can come up with noble, shining ideals. But people are also fallible human beings, and we know they made a terrible mistake."
