Banned Books Information and Events

Contains information about censorship, 2025 Banned Books Week events

Banned Books Week: Oct 5-11, 2025

What is Banned Books Week @ Cal State LA?

The Cal State LA Library and the English Department co-host a celebration of Banned Books Week to stimulate conversation and critical thinking about censorship.

"Banned Books Week spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. It brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular." - American Library Association
