THEY BAN THEM. WE SELL THEM.

Want to push back against book banning? Start by buying—and reading—a banned book.

The vast maority of book challenges comes from pressure groups, government officials and decision makers. And nearly half of the targeted titles represent the lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ people and people of color.

Why is this dangerous? Because restricting access to stories narrows whose voices we hear, whose histories we understand, and whose lives we learn to value. It takes choices away from readers and families—and puts those choices in someone else’s hands.

You don’t have to love every book. You don’t have to agree with it. The freedom to read includes the freedom to make up your own mind.

And buying a banned book? That’s a little defiance with a lasting impact. You support authors whose work is being targeted, support bookstores that keep those stories available, and help a book reach another reader—the very thing censorship tries to prevent.

Make their efforts backfire. Discover an author. Buy the book. Read it. Pass it on.
