Banned Books Week

Schools and public libraries are facing more and more challenges with folks demanding that books be pulled from shelves. Most of the complaints are against books featuring LGBTQ+ characters, or books that recognize systemic racism, or books that challenge the status quo in some way.

At lala books, we believe in the freedom to read. We strive to curate a selection of books that meets the reading needs of our community. There are some books we decide not to order to keep on our shelves, but we will always get a book for you if we can.
