Aug 22 2024
The Independent Book Publishers Association and EveryLibrary Institute have teamed up for We Are Stronger Than Censorship, a program to supply diverse books to young readers and counteract book banning efforts. Cocreated by IBPA chief content officer Lee Wind and EveryLibrary fellow Tasslyn Magnusson, the program has begun fundraising and bringing publisher and bookstore partners on board. It launches publicly on September 9, in anticipation of Banned Books Week, September 22–28.
