Bucks Council say David Walliams books won't be removed from its libraries

It follows reports of allegations of sexual misconduct against Walliams.

Peter Brazier, the council’s cabinet member for culture and leisure, said it was “not considering removing David Walliams’ books from our libraries”.

He said: “Buckinghamshire libraries follow established professional and ethical principles when managing book collections. Our starting point is that books should remain available to readers unless their content is unlawful.

“Our library stock is regularly reviewed and refreshed based on what our customers want to read.”

Reports published by ITV News and The Guardian on Tuesday said several women had accused Walliams of sexual misconduct. He denies all of the allegations.

Walliams’ children’s books have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. HarperCollins dropped him in 2025 after allegations of inappropriate behaviour, which he denied. In September 2026, the publisher said it would stop representing his back catalogue, meaning the books would not be replaced in shops once sold out.

In response to ITV News and The Guardian, Walliams said he regretted not always considering the feelings of women he had relationships with. He denied abusing his position, being a sexual predator or breaking the law.
