How We're Giving Back This Banned Books Week With the American Bookseller Foundation for Free Expression
In honor of Banned Books Week, an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and highlighting the value of free and open access to information, Penguin Random House is proud to partner with the American Bookseller Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE). From September 22 – September 28, for every title purchased via PRH.com, we will donate $1 (up to $15,000) to ABFFE.
ABFFE is dedicated to promoting and protecting the free exchange of ideas. They issue statements on significant free expression controversies, participate in legal cases involving First Amendment rights, collaborate with other groups interested in free speech, and provide education about the importance of free expression to booksellers, politicians, the press, and the public.
For Banned Books Week, ABFFE is offering a variety of resources to booksellers, including discounts, promotional tools, and program ideas. The Banned Books Week Coalition is also celebrating with a range of programs and events. View the full events calendar for the week here.
At Penguin Random House, we believe that the right to freedom of expression and the protection of writers against censorship and unjust persecution are indispensable to the development of society and culture. To learn more about our work around Freedom of Expression, click here.
