Public schools and libraries nationwide are celebrating Banned Books Week this week as part of a movement that targets a parent-led movement to remove books with explicit adult content from school libraries.
The American Library Association (ALA) founded the annual campaign to promote “banned” books in 1982, and each year, it releases a top 10 list of books based on data the organization compiled on “demands to censor library books and resources.”
