To continue to raise awareness about the harms of censorship and the freedom to read, the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) publishes an annual list of the Top Ten Most Challenged Books, using information from public challenges reported in the media, as well as censorship reports submitted to the office through its challenge reporting form.
Think books aren't banned today? Think again. These are the Top Ten Challenged Books of 2016, compiled by the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF).
