Since 1982, Banned Books Week has enlightened the public about attempts to censor books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. This year’s theme is “Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read.”

The American Library Association documented 487 attempts to censor books at libraries, schools, and universities in 2025. The reasons most commonly cited for censorship were false claims of illegal obscenity for minors; inclusion of LGBTQIA+ representation; covering topics of race, racism, social justice, and diversity; and presenting political or religious views with which the challengers disagreed.
