ourjourneys Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I am looking for a list of banned books that schools will not allow in their library. I know I have seen discussions here, anyone have a quick link or better idea for searching than 'banned book list'? I am not finding anything. Thanks!:auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pqr Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Depends on which school and which period we are speaking of. Various library groups often maintain lists. ACLU does as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 You can find lists of banned and challenged books on the National Library Association website. It includes reasons they were banned/challenged and where (in a school, public library, etc). Is that what you are looking for? http://www.ala.org/advocacy/banned/frequentlychallenged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourjourneys Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Thank you both for your response... I found the ALA site just after posting this :) I have a friend complaining about the Hunger Games and I just wanted to show her some other books that she HAS read and loved that have been complained about by others... Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
