Banned Books Week is celebrated this fall from September 22-28. Take a look at the info-graph below that shows the top 11 challenged books of 2018. Do some of them surprise you? Did you know that 59% of challenges take place in public libraries and 23% take place in school libraries? The other challenges take place in schools (classroom), academic libraries, and special/prison libraries. A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials or services based on content. On the other hand, a band is the removal of materials or cancellation of services based on content.
