[SCLA] BOOK BANS

[Peter Ward]

*Total book challenges in 2022 set to exceed 2021 record*

Attempts to ban books from libraries are rising at an unprecedented level
across the country. The American Library Association reported more than 729
attempted bans of 1,597 individual books in 2021 alone.

Eight months into 2022, the number of attempts to ban or restrict library
resources in schools, universities and public libraries, is on track to
exceed record counts from 2021, according to preliminary data released
today by the American Library Association (ALA) in advance of BANNED BOOK
WEEK (Sept. 18-24).
