Off the Shelf

It’s always surprising to us which books wind up on the banned
books list each year. They might be banned for violence or drug use or
“inappropriate” sexual relationships. But we believe that everyone who has
the desire should have the opportunity to read these books and judge the
content for themselves.
Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden
increase in challenges to books in schools, bookstores, and libraries. Each
September, publishers, librarians, booksellers, and readers celebrate the
freedom to read and raise awareness about the problems of book censorship.
We’ve collected some of the most challenged books here based on BannedBooksWeek.org and the American
Library Association.
