The Brooklyn Public Library addresses the rise in book challenges and bans by launching the Books Unbanned program. This initiative provides free digital library cards to young people across the U.S., granting access to a vast collection of books, including those banned. The program also supports teens through the Intellectual Freedom Council, which connects them with peers and experts to discuss censorship issues. The library aims to shift the narrative around book removal and promote intellectual freedom, having issued over 6,300 library cards in its first year.
