Map of Banned Books
Banned Books Week 2009 is in full swing. This year, there’s even a map showing where specific books are being challenged (in the US), and the reasons why.
The map is far from complete:
There are hundreds of challenges to books in schools and libraries in the United States every year. According to the American Library Association (ALA), there were at least 513 in 2008. But the total is far larger. 70 to 80 percent are never reported.
Not too fond of book censorship? Go here.
