The Ten Most Banned Books of 2023

The American Library Association (ALA) has released its list of the ten most banned books for last year. The numbers of books that are banned each year continues to rise. The short version: there was a 65% surge in banned books from 2022 to 2023. The most common reason for a book to be banned is that it contains LGBTQ+ and/or sexual themes.

And, not surprisingly, we have chosen to release this list of potential library purchases on Right to Read Day.
