Mixed signals as Banned Books Week opens nationwide
Two reports released Monday show a split picture on book removals. The ALA notes a drop in complaints and objections in 2024, while PEN America reports over 10,000 books removed in 2023-24, with Florida and Iowa accounting for most removals. The contrast stems from differing definitions of bans and challenges, and both cite race and LGBTQIA themes as common targets. Some districts in Iowa faced a law restricting sexual content in school libraries, prompting removals and online public listings, with legal challenges ongoing.
