ALL THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES OFFERING FREE ACCESS TO BANNED BOOKS: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE; Book Riot, October 23, 2023

 , Book Riot; ALL THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES OFFERING FREE ACCESS TO BANNED BOOKS: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE

"This list is as comprehensive a roundup as possible of all the U.S. public libraries offering access to banned books. It includes the name of the library, the people who are being granted access to the collections, materials within the collections, as well as any other pertinent or relevant information. 

The list will be updated as more libraries engage in this kind of access activism. Note that many of these programs operate under the banner of “Books Unbanned.” Though they will be quite similar because laws regarding libraries differ state by state and because every library collection differs from another, the breadth of access and catalogs differs in each variation of the program. Folks who qualify may apply for cards at each of the Books Unbound programs—you’re not limited to just one."
