Circumventing Book Bans

These libraries provide free access to electronic resources and may be especially useful to those affected by local book censorship initiatives.
 

  • These resources may require renewal after 1 year.

  • A flexible relationship with the truth (especially your zip code and birthdate) will make you eligible at more libraries.

  • If an ebook is on Kindle Unlimited, it won’t be available in ebook format through a library due to licensing restrictions.
