LJ Librarian(s) of the Year : Books Unbanned at BPL

Library Journal has announced its 2023 Librarian(s) of the year: the “Books Unbanned” team at Brooklyn Public Library, which offers “free ebook access to teens and young adults nationwide, defying rising book challenges across the country.”

To apply for a free BPL ecard, all that young people ages 13 to 21 need to do is “send a note via email to BooksUnbanned@bklynlibrary.org or through the library’s teen-run Instagram account, @bklynfuture, describing the censorship challenges they are experiencing and why they feel libraries should have diverse collections.”
