Penguin Random House is Hitting the Road with Three Other Organizations
Banned books are reportedly on the rise in America as "new laws and regulations limiting the kinds of books that kids can access." In order to protest this, Penguin Random House has joined forces with three other organizations, namely the Freedom to Read Foundation, Pen America, and Little Free Library, and organized a touring campaign to oppose what they perceive as unjust bans. Dubbed the 'Banned Wagon,' the initiative will see the collaborators "handing out copies of banned books in some of the most affected communities."
Penguin Random House has provided locations for the Banned Wagon tour on its website, as well as a list of 12 books that it will be promoting. These books address a wide range of social and cultural issues, providing important perspectives and narratives to diverse audiences.
