America is facing a book banning crisis. In 2023 alone, 3,059 books were banned. DPLA believes books should always be available to everyone.
The DPLA created the most up to date database of all of the books banned in America. Then, geo-fenced the exact footprint of every library that banned the books - and made those books available via a mobile app for any person when they are within those very libraries. Sending a strong message to the book banners - that every time they try to take a book off the shelf, the DPLA will put it right back, virtually.
