Banned Book Week

Audiobook retailer Libro.fm and Silent Book Club are organizing a read-in for Banned Books Week, an annual event highlighting attempts to remove books from libraries and schools. The initiative invites readers to gather and read challenged titles in unison, adding to a growing wave of industry responses to rising book censorship efforts.

Pollak Library at Cal State Fullerton will host Banned Books Week from October 5 to 8. The annual event highlights books that have been challenged or removed from libraries and schools, and is being noted amid ongoing national debates over book censorship.

San Jose State University is marking Banned Books Week 2026 with a 'Deep Dive in Five' feature on Maite Urcaregui, published through its NewsCenter. The interview-style piece explores questions around book banning and censorship efforts, continuing the university's coverage of the annual event that highlights challenged titles and defends the freedom to read.
