The Digital Public Library of America has introduced the Banned Book Program, providing free access to ebooks prohibited in schools and libraries across the US due to bans targeting LGBTQ+ and diverse perspectives.
The program, called The Banned Book Club, offers readers a list of banned titles in their area to counter the rise of book bans and legislative efforts restricting teaching on topics such as racism and sexuality, and to empower students with diverse viewpoints. The ebooks are available to readers via the Palace e-reader app, available for iOS and Android devices.
