Easy A: meaningful actions in five minutes or less

Do This: Celebrate Right to Read Day

Apr 3, 2025 | Book Bans, Easy A

Monday, April 7 is Right to Read Day — a day to celebrate and defend our freedom to read while we also bring attention to the rising, extremist attempts to take it away. We are a partner with Unite Against Book Bans, a program of the American Library Association, and we hope you’ll join us by taking part in this day.

Earn your Easy A this week by speaking out against book bans and showing your support for reading. Here’s some things you can do:

  • Visit your local library.
  • Check out a library book.
  • Thank your librarian(s) — in person or with a handwritten note!
  • And the easiest thing you can do in less than five minutes right now? Spread the word! Share this post on your social media to let people know about the rise in book bans and the importance of standing up for our freedom to read.

Book-banning extremists are loud, but we are the majority. Let’s be louder and celebrate reading on Right to Read Day, and every day!
