DID YOU KNOW the American Library Association documented 1,269 demands to censor library books and resources in 2022, the highest number of attempted book bans since ALA began compiling data about censorship in libraries more than 20 years ago? The record number of reported attempts at book banning in 2022 nearly doubles the 729 book challenges reported in 2021. | |
