Banned Books Week 2026 is celebrated from October 4–10, and this year’s theme is “Let Books Be! Protect the Freedom to Read.”
Banned Books Week has been shining a spotlight on the right to read since 1982, and this year we’ll keep celebrating stories, voices, and ideas that challenge us, inspire us, and connect us.
Pittsburg Public Library is proud to join libraries, publishers, and booksellers nationwide in celebrating the freedom to read! Stop by the Library to explore some Banned Books displays, check out a banned book (or two!), and pick up a BBW bookmark.
