Banned Books Week, September 20–27 is observed each year in America since 1982, the annual event reminds us not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted.

Each year, the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom receives hundreds of reports on books and other materials that were "challenged" or asked to be removed from school or library shelves. The ALA estimates the number represents only about a quarter of the actual challenges.

Here is the link for The top 100 from 1990 to 2000. I was so surprised by some of the titles STILL being challenged and amazed at some of the titles I loved and grew up with as a child are on this list and being challeged now. Just food for thought....
