Ways to get involved
Student-led actions to protect the right to read.
Advocacy
At Page Not Found, we support students, families, and educators in responding to book censorship. Our advocacy focuses on raising awareness, sharing resources, and helping communities take meaningful action.
We highlight current petitions, organize campaigns, and provide tools for those who want to protect the freedom to read. Whether you’re responding to a local book ban or learning more about the issue, this is a place to start.

remotely
Open remote roles:
Anthology Reader: Read and respond to incoming submissions as part of our editorial process. Help our editors identify strong voices and provide feedback to student writers.
Social Media Contributor: Pitch and create content for our Instagram by adding spotlights on banned books, highlights of published anthology work, and advocacy news.
You don't have to be at a chapter school to be part of Page Not Found. We welcome students from anywhere who want to contribute to the journal, the cause, or both.
Research Assistant: Support Tami's work tracking book ban data, identifying new states or districts facing challenges, and compiling resources for the site.
Chapter Ambassador: Help us spread the word at your school. Not ready to launch a full chapter? Start by gauging interest, hosting a single event, or sharing our work with your English teacher or librarian.

Library boxes
What we're building
Free access: Anyone can take or leave a book.
Curated collections: Each box includes banned or challenged titles, along with context materials.
Student-led Boxes are designed and managed by local students or chapters.
Launching Spring 2026 — want to be a founding host?
These are free, student-curated collections of banned and challenged books placed in schools, neighborhoods, and public spaces.
We are working on:
A starter book list for each box
A build-your-own guide for students and chapters
Signage and printed materials for inside each box
Want to host a box?
If you are a student, educator, or community member interested in hosting a library box, we’d love to hear from you.
