Apr 13, 2022

The New York Public Library has launched the national campaign Books for All in response to the wave of book bans and challenges currently facing public and school libraries. NYPL will partner with Hachette Book Group, Macmillan Publishers, and Scholastic to make e-copies of the following commonly banned books available to anyone in the country through May, with no waits or fines, via the free e-reader app SimplyE:

  • Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson (Square Fish/Macmillan Publishers)
  • King and the Dragonflies by Kacen Callender (Scholastic)
  • Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers/Hachette Book Group)
