ALA Shares Events That Are Planned for Banned Books Week

ALA provided details about Banned Books Week, to be held Sept. 26–Oct. 2, 2021. This year’s theme is Books Unite Us. Censorship Divides Us. There are free resources, such as infographics, printable activities, and social media shareables at ala.org/advocacy/bbooks.

On Sept. 29, at 7 p.m. CDT, a free virtual event (registration required) called Ideas & Action—hosted by Random House imprint One World—will feature authors such as Ta-Nehisi Coates, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Ibram X. Kendi, and Bryan Stevenson. They will discuss the question, “What do you wish you had learned in school?”
