Let Books Be Buttons
Banned Books Week®
October 4–10, 2026
A handful of people should not be allowed to dictate what the rest of us can read! Organized groups have used fear and disinformation to silence stories and remove books from our libraries, schools, and bookstores.
Why can’t they just let books be?
Books are for everyone. Books should be read. Books should be uncensored. Wear a button with pride and together we can protect the freedom to read. We must Let Books Be. Learn more at ala.org/bbooks.
