The Banned Books Week Coalition is thrilled to join Unite Against Book Bans in welcoming Public School Strong as the newest member of Unite’s growing coalition! Together, we’re strengthening the fight against book bans by inviting libraries, schools, bookstores, and community groups to showcase their Banned Books Week 2025 events on Public School Strong’s online advocacy calendar.  

Visit the Banned Books Week events page to list your event(s) and find others in your area. For event and activity planning resources, check out Banned Books Week (October 5-11, 2025) and Let Freedom Read Day (October 11) for tips, ideas, graphics, and more.    

New Interactive Map Offers Greater Visibility, Reach, and Privacy 

By collaborating with Public School Strong to capture Banned Books Week events in 2025, the Banned Books Week Coalition and Unite Against Book Bans will connect freedom to read advocates from both the library and educational ecosystems with new ways to get involved locally. The event calendar is free for anyone planning a public-facing Banned Books Week event (in person or virtual) and a great way to get the word out to people in your community! Once registered, hosts can also list other advocacy events, even after Banned Books Week wraps up. 

The new, interactive map of Banned Books Week and Let Freedom Read Day events is now available on the Banned Books Week website. Visitors who use this tool to list or locate events will also be prompted to connect with related community advocacy opportunities convened by Public School Strong, their partners, and their local teams.  

To support advocates around the country, Public School Strong has prepared a simple, how-to guide for event hosts, which covers everything from free account registration to a range of privacy protections that can limit the visibility of event hosts, locations, and/or searchability, if desired. Instructions for messaging registered attendees through Public School Strong’s platform are also included.  

About Public School Strong 

Public School Strong is a national campaign with one simple goal: to convince local policymakers that every child — regardless of zip code, race, gender or ethnicity — deserves to have equitable access to quality public schools that don’t discriminate. With volunteer organizing teams working around the country to promote and strengthen public schools, Public School Strong mobilizes parents, educators, and students working to build a just, multiracial democracy. As part of this effort, the campaign maintains a national map of events that helps connect advocates to actions.
