This year for Banned Books Week, we were proud to partner with HarperCollins Children’s Publishing, Bookshop.org, the Banned Books Week Coalition, and the American Library Association to support banned books.
Little Free Library book-sharing boxes are an excellent vehicle for providing access to books, and this year we were thrilled that HarperCollins Children’s Publishing gifted 1,000 of their banned books to Little Free Libraries around the country! Hundreds of stewards entered, and 100 lucky winners were selected to receive 10 banned books each, with priority being given to those in areas where books were being challenged.
It was exciting to see photos and videos from stewards as the books started to land in Little Free Library book-sharing boxes coast to coast! We’re delighted to have been able to offer this opportunity to stewards thanks to our friends at HarperCollins Children’s Publishing.
