Our story

Page Not Found was created by students who witnessed the rapid rise of book bans in schools and libraries and recognized what was being lost in the process.

Many of the stories removed from shelves represented underrepresented voices, difficult histories, and perspectives young people need in order to understand themselves and the world around them.

What began as concern quickly became action. Page Not Found was founded to protect access to banned and challenged books through advocacy, education, and direct community outreach. Our small student initiative has grown into a student-led organization working to ensure the right to read is not quietly erased.

Start a chapter

Page Not Found launched with a simple goal: to give students access to stories others are trying to erase. We’ve turned that goal into action through school-based chapters led by students.

At our partner schools, students are:

  • Designing and maintaining library boxes filled with banned and challenged books

  • Organizing outreach efforts and petitions in response to local book bans

  • Publishing a student-run literary journal featuring work from students around the world

  • Partnering with schools and libraries to coordinate book donations

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Email us at info@pagenotfound.org with the books you want to donate and we will reply with the necessary information.

  • You can make a difference by reading and sharing banned books, starting a Page Not Found chapter at your school, or organizing events that raise awareness. Speaking at school board meetings, partnering with local libraries, and donating challenged books are all powerful ways to defend the right to read.

  • Many books are banned for exploring themes related to race, gender, sexuality, or history that some consider uncomfortable or controversial. Often, these challenges reflect efforts to control what people are allowed to learn or question, rather than protecting them.
