Believe it or not, books are still being challenged and banned today in 2023. And, book banning happens all over the country – not just in particular states. A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is when challenged items are actually removed from library/classroom shelves
While books have been and continue to be banned, part our “celebration” is the fact that, in a majority of cases, the books have remained available. This happens only thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, students, and community members who stand up and speak out for the freedom to read.
Above is a small selection of banned/challenged books in the library’s collection. Please see the library display (to the right around the corner after you get out of the elevator on the library 4th floor) for more titles and information.
