📚 Stand With the Banned: Supporting Libraries During National Library Week

April 6–12 is National Library Week—a time to celebrate the freedom to read, the vital role libraries play in our communities, and the people who fight to keep books on shelves.

At Beyond the Covers, we believe books change lives, and that access to diverse stories, ideas, and voices is a right worth protecting. That’s why we're proud to support the Houston Public Library Foundation with a special giveback promotion all week long.

From April 6–12, 25% of net proceeds from our Stand With the Banned Collection will be donated to the Houston Public Library Foundation to help strengthen library programming and protect the freedom to read.

This curated collection features banned and challenged books alongside gifts from our Good Stock partners—fellow small businesses who care deeply about community, creativity, and causes that matter. You’ll also find a few items designed by us here at BTC, created with readers and rebels in mind.

Whether you're a lifelong library lover or new to the world of banned books, shopping the collection is a simple, impactful way to show your support. Every purchase helps fund library access and advocacy—right here in our hometown of Houston.
