Right to Read Day

Celebration

A day of action on the Monday of National Library Week

Right to Read Day was launched in 2023 to encourage public action on behalf of libraries, which are facing an unprecedented deluge of censorship attempts. The event coincides with the release of ALA’s Top 10 Most Challenged Books list and the State of America’s Libraries Report and is part of ALA's Unite Against Book Bans campaign.
