Book Challenges and Bans in the United States: Presentation Slides

Book Challenges and Bans in the United States, Haley Baker

This case study focuses on the current state of book challenges and bans in the United States. It takes a look at several issues and how those issues are impacting the nation, in particular, children. I also profile a few organizations that are attempting to fight this tide of censorship in different ways and I explore the possibility of a national digital lending library.
