The and Coalition are pleased to announce the theme for Banned Books Week 2026: 鈥淟et Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read.鈥� Banned Books Week will take place October 4鈥�10, 2026. The struggle against book bans is too immense to capture in a single image, so this year鈥檚 Banned Books Week campaign features three illustrations showing how libraries and access to information enrich our lives. The artwork from award-winning illustrators Hyesu Lee, Loveis Wise, and Mikey Burton embraces joy and creativity as acts of resilience, reminding our communities that a handful of people running organized censorship campaigns should not be allowed to dictate what the rest of us can read.
