This year Banned Books Week is September 26-October 2. Every year the Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) compiles a list of the Top 10 Most Challenged Books to inform the public about censorship in libraries and schools. They get their information for media stories and reports sent to the OIF from communities around the U.S. ( Information from ala.org.) This is just a glimpse of challenges; it is estimated that 82-97% of book challenges remain unreported and/or receive no media coverage. Here is the list of the Top 10 Most Challenged Books of 2020.
