Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 5-11, 2025, as Banned Books Week in the State of New York

This is a symbolic resolution requesting Governor Hochul to designate October 5-11, 2025, as Banned Books Week in New York State. It does not create new laws or affect policies, as it is merely a ceremonial request to recognize an existing national observance. The resolution cites PEN America's findings about book bans but does not alter any legal standards for book access. It formally asks the Governor to issue a proclamation aligning with the American Library Association's annual campaign.
