Starting Friday, September 17, 2021, we will be featuring items from our collection in recognition of the American Library Association (ALA)'s annual Banned Books Week, held this year from September 26 to October 2, 2021. The titles featured have all been targeted for restriction or removal in libraries and schools.
Below you will find frequently challenged books that appear in either the top-ten most challenged books for the years 2019 and 2020, or appear in all-time lists of most challenged books. The entries below also include the reasons those titles were challenged according to ALA records.
