A grassroots organization founded to increase diversity in publishing is launching a program to counteract the nationwide wave of bannings in schools and libraries.
On Tuesday, We Need Diverse Books, or WNDB, announced the formation of the Unbanned Book Network, which will donate books by authors who have been banned and select Author Ambassadors for school districts facing bans. WNDB plans to start with 20 “under-resourced” schools in states where bans are most prevalent, including Texas and Florida.
