What we’re about
Abi’s Banned & Burned Book Club is a sanctuary for free thinkers, inspired by Kate Lindley’s Banned Book Nook and the belief that literature should challenge, not be censored. We read books that have been banned or challenged, exploring why they provoke such reactions and what they reveal about society, history, and ourselves.
We stand with the Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF) in defending the First Amendment and the right of libraries to provide unrestricted access to information. Founded in 1969, FTRF fights to protect readers, librarians, and authors from censorship, ensuring that all voices—especially the uncomfortable ones—are heard.
Books shape minds, inspire change, and push boundaries. By reading what others have tried to silence, we reclaim the right to think for ourselves. Join us in exploring banned and burned books—because the most dangerous ideas are often the ones most worth reading.
