Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship. The American Library Association condemns censorship and works to ensure free access to information.
What's the difference between a challenge and a banning?
Challenges do not simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove material from the curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others. Due to the commitment of librarians, teachers, parents, students and other concerned citizens, most challenges are unsuccessful and most materials are retained in the school curriculum or library collection.
