Welcome to the Phoenix Union High School District (PXU) Libraries. Our mission is to empower learners, encourage research, and inspire readers.

The library world is celebrating Banned Books this month! This year's theme is "Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read." 📖✨
At PXU, our library catalog is available online for parents, students, and stakeholders to explore. Our Teacher Librarians carefully build collections that are age-appropriate, educational, and engaging for our students. During Banned Books Week, we recognize the importance of intellectual freedom by highlighting the impact of censorship while celebrating every student's right to read, learn, and discover new perspectives. 🌍📚
We believe that every reader deserves to see themselves reflected in books and should have the opportunity to make their own reading choices. Representation, inclusion, and access to diverse stories help inspire, empower, and connect young readers. ❤️📖

Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, an annual observation started more than 40 years ago in response to a sudden surge in the number of attempts to censor or remove books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Sound familiar?

Today, libraries continue to face record numbers of challenges to the books on their shelves. And contrary to common narratives suggesting that concerned parents are driving these challenges, data from ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom suggests otherwise – 92% of these challenges came from pressure groups and government officials in 2025.

For this year’s Banned Books Week, we remind our communities that a handful of people running organized censorship campaigns should not be allowed to dictate what the rest of us can read, and that the joy and creativity of reading is not only an act of resistance, but a freedom that must be protected.

Follow the link in our bio for ways to get involved, censorship data, events throughout the week, and to help spread the word.
