Right to Read Day: April 20, 2026: Everywhere. For your freedom to read, For access to information, For understanding our past, For our communities, For our libraries. Unite Against Book Bans, ALA 150, American Library Association
The freedom to read is still being challenged: from january 2025 through March 2026, more than 100 pro-censorship bills were introduced in state legislatures. At least 40 bills would penalize libraries and library workers with lawsuits, fines, or even jail time for protecting people's right to read. Since 2021, the American Library Association has tracked an astonishing increase in censorship attempts in libraries and schools. The data shows that the majority of book censorship attempts are now originating from organized movements.
The challenges we face are real, but so is the growing network of individuals and organizations who continue to win victories, share strategies, and build momentum to protect the right to read. Because of your hard work, we've seen meaningful progress. Even when things are tough, we keep showing up to fight for the freedom to read and strengthen the movement together. Right to Read Day is a time to celebrate our wins and take action against book bs.
5 Actions, 5 minutes. Right to Read Day.
It’s Right to Read Day! Here are 5 actions you can take to protect the freedom to read! #NationalLibraryWeek #RightToReadDay #UniteAgainstBookBans

The freedom to speak and to read is a fundamental principle of the United States of America. That is why we have joined together — parents, students, educators, library workers, authors, free expression advocates, booksellers, and publishers — to stand in support of our nation’s school-aged children and teens and in opposition to H.R. 7661. H.R. 7661, if passed, will compel nationwide book censorship. It confuses obscenity with identity and stigmatizes vulnerable young people, particularly trans children and teens, based on who they are. It will continue to drain funding from our already underfunded schools and libraries. And it will threaten the creativity and critical thinking that are vital to education in the U.S.
A core principle of democracy, freedom, and liberty is that the government does not choose what people get to read and who they get to be. This country has a long history of protecting our freedoms. H.R. 7661 goes against this. Together, we say that this bill goes against the U.S. Constitution, local self-determination, access to books, and a society that is welcoming for everyone, no matter who they are. Our schools deserve better than this. Our children and teens — all of them, without exception — deserve better than this. We urge the U.S. House of Representatives to vote NO on H.R. 7661 or, better yet, to not take it up for a vote at all.
We stand alongside over 100 grassroots and national advocacy organizations, publishers, booksellers, parent groups, and professional associations in opposition to H.R. 7661.
👉 Use this action center to urge your representative to vote NO. tinyurl.com/hapf2m9r #uniteagainstbookbans

Tell your rep you oppose HR 7661 that would withhold promised funding from school libraries so materials would reflect a specific ideology.

This is unconscionable! The bias of the book banners is not even thinly veiled. #UniteAgainstBookBans Texas #schoollibrarians are in a tough spot. The school community must rise up together to end #censorship. #TLSky #EduSky #IntellectualFreedom means the freedom to read for all, even K-12 kids!

Utah's HB 29 "any time a public or charter school removes a book deemed 'sensitive material,' they must notify the State Board of Education. If that book meets the threshold of removals, all schools will be notified and expected to dispose of it." #TLSky #EduSky #UniteAgainstBookBans #StopCensorship
