As book bans pass across the country, some cities and libraries are declaring themselves “book sanctuaries,' protecting challenged books, or ones that are in danger of being banned.
These programs are a direct response to censorship around the country. Pelayo-Lozada toldthat, although the ALA hasn’t finalized its data, 2022 is expected to have a record-breaking number of book ban attempts. According to a recent report from
Cameron Samuels, a freshman at Brandeis University and the Youth Honorary Chair of Banned Books Week, is a passionate campaigner against book bans. In 2021, Samuels attended a school board meeting alone to speak out against censorship in their Texas school district, including proposed book bans.
For Samuels, a book sanctuary’s aim isn’t to dispel critiques of books, but to encourage them. “Criticism is an influential part in examining literature and, with this recent wave of book banning, it has been extremely politicized. It’s no longer examining literature from a humanities’ perspective and therefore has simply become a way to fearmonger, to take advantage of voters, and gain political power,” they explain.
