5% of our annual profits are donated to organizations that fight book bans in the US.
We believe that everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in the stories they read.
In 2024, pressure groups and government entities that include elected officials, board members, and administrators initiated 72% of demands to censor books in school and public libraries.
The books included in our Banned and Challenged category have faced censorship and/or challenges according to PEN America’s databases of school book bans.
