The freedom to express ourselves and the freedom to read without censorship or interference are central to freedom of speech and diversity of thought in our society and around the world. We are proud to work with Penguin Random House to support the 35th annual Banned Books Week and rally behind those books and authors who continue to face challenges at home and around the globe.
In celebration, from September 25 through September 30, for each piece of Banned Books merchandise purchased on our website, Penguin Random House will donate one book in support of hurricane relief efforts through First Book, up to 10,000 books. Please join us in helping to support those areas impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, and start browsing now.

The best way to celebrate Banned Books Week is to read a banned book. Head over to our friends at Penguin Random House to enter their Banned Books Box sweepstakes where fifty lucky winners will each receive a personalized box filled with 10 of their favorite banned books and a special banned books mug from us! (No purchase necessary. US residents, 18+. Ends 9/30/17. See Official Rules.)
