In some countries, books are disappearing from libraries and schools. Books that ask critical questions, disrupt or let voices be heard that are being suppressed.

During the Week of the Banned Book, from 19 to 27 September 2026, we will reflect nationally on the importance of the free word, forbidden stories, and unlimited access to information.

At The Bookworm we also pay attention to stories that are banned, censored, or under pressure in the world.
