What other questions do you have about book bans?
#BookSky

What impact does book banning have on authors? Book bans have a significant impact on authors including loss of income (from both sales of books and events such as school visits), the lack of visibility of their work to their target audience, the additional workload of fighting against a challenge when they’re able, and the potential loss of future publishing contracts if their book is seen as underperforming.

I'm an adult with the means to buy books I want for myself why should I care? Those who wish to ban books are not simply targeting schools and libraries. They have also gone after bookstores. A threat against one person’s freedom to read is a threat to everyone’s, and no matter what genre you read or how old you are, the impact of book bans have the potential to affect your reading if they’re allowed to continue growing at this rate.

Book bans are increasing across the U.S. year after year and readers have taken notice.

If you want to better understand the basics of book banning and how it impacts the bookish community, we’re here to help. #BannedBooksWeek

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Banned Books - What impact does book banning have on authors? What is intellectual freedom? What is the difference between a challenge and a ban? What types of books are being targeted? I'm an adult with the means to buy books I want for myself why should I care?

What is intellectual freedom? Defined by the American Library Association: Intellectual freedom is the right “to read, seek information, and speak freely as guaranteed by the First Amendment. Intellectual freedom is a… basic right in our democratic society.” Book bans go against the right to intellectual freedom by denying readers’ access to books.

What is the difference between a challenge and a ban? A challenge is the attempt to remove a book from a school or library by a person who objects to the contents of a book and wants to restrict others’ access to it. A ban is the removal of a book from a school or library, or the implementation of a restriction that changes the book’s availability (for example a book restricted to the high school library and removed from a middle school library where it had once been shelved).

What types of books are being targeted? Most challenged books feature historically underrepresented voices, such as LGBTQ+ or BIPOC authors. Other commonly challenged topics include health (including mental health, bullying, and puberty), grief and death, sexual health and experiences, and violence.
