Content: Schools and Censorship: Banned Books, 2008) Libraries are institutions which are most often found to have books being challenged. “ When filling their shelves, librarians do not judge the content of books on whether it would be suitable for all audiences. As public institutions, libraries may not discriminate on disseminating information on the basis of age, sex or race, which means that people can check out whatever materials they choose.” ( Conger, 2008) Libraries usually have boards which approve or disapprove of the addition of new titles, yet many books fall through the cracks. Today, roughly 250-350 books are challenged each year. ( Top Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books List, n.d.) The following infographic displays reasons books were challenged in 2013, confirming the fact that some of the most common reasons include ‘sexually explicit’ and ‘offensive language’. ( Crum, 2014)
Among the states which ban books the most are Texas, Oregon, North Carolina and Connecticut. ( Crum, 2014) As previously stated, parents and librarians are those who are most often found to ban books.
