Who expected nationwide book banning on their Dumpster Fire Bingo card? 😬 Yeah, we didn’t want it either. Since its launch in 1982, Banned Books Week has been a national movement to support books that have been banned, challenged, or censored. 40 years later, well, you’ve seen the news. Book censorship in state and local governments across the US. Many of these affect vital books that would otherwise introduce young readers to new ideas and provide them solace in reading narratives similar to their own. We at Beacon Press are committed to publishing books that promote a more pluralistic society and speak to an ever-expanding set of experiences and perspectives.
