  6. In this time of rampant book banning, a reminder that four library systems in the US offer the Books Unbanned program giving access to their electronic collections to young people anywhere across the country. Seattle Public Library's program is open to young people from 13 to 26, and over 19,000 have signed up for a card, and checked out more than 571,400 ebooks and audiobooks so far.

    To get a Books Unbanned card at SPL, get reading recommendations, or find out more information about the program, check out:

    (Edited 10/8/2025 with the most recent numbers, there's been quite in increase in use.)

Inspired by the American Library Association's Freedom to Read Statement, BPL's Books Unbanned initiative is a response to an increasingly coordinated and effective effort to remove books tackling a wide range of topics from library shelves.“

  10. Everyone, pass this on to whomever may benefit (boost to spread the word!): 13-21 year olds anywhere can apply for a free Brooklyn Public Library e-card to gain access to these books, as part of their "Books Unbanned” campaign. bklynlibrary.org/books-unbanne
