Books Unite Us. Censorship Divides Us. Did you know it’s Banned Books Week? Launched in 1982, Banned Books Week brings attention to the value of open access to information and the harm of censorship. Here are some of the books that the American Library Association has reported as being the most frequently challenged books of the past year, most being written by POC and LGBTQ+ authors. Have you read any of these books in this stack? No matter what you’re reading this week, we hope you’re celebrating the unifying power of stories and the freedom to read! #barnesandnoble #bn #bnbuzz #bnunionsquare #bannedbooks #bannedbooksweek #booksuniteus #booksbooksbooks #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #booktok #bookish #booklover #booklove #readbannedbooks #happyreading
