Kelly Jensen writes: “This fall marks the start of year six of relentless book bans. The Five Year Report aims to not only explore the trends and themes of book censorship in the 2020s; it also puts the voices of those on the ground at the forefront. The Five Year Report is a collaborative project from ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, Book Riot, and the Florida Freedom to Read Project. The insights here underscore the vital need for those who champion the right to read to show up in their own communities.”
