Ala Banned Books Week 2024. Banned books week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in libraries, bookstores, and schools. During the ala annual conference in july, sage sponsored banned books from the big chair in partnership with the banned books week coalition and unite against book bans.
Banned books week celebrates our freedom to read what we choose and we celebrate it during the last week of september every year. Book bans are on the rise in classrooms and libraries across the country.
