American Library Association's "The 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000"
banned books week — 4 years ago
I work at a public library and I decided to create a display for Banned Books Week in Sept. 06. I used this list, some lists of historically banned books, and the recent annual lists from ALA. I put a label on each book with an description of its particular challenges or bans.
The display was a huge hit! People were shocked that books are ‘still’ banned and challenged, people learned about the situation, people talked about it, and people read the books in huge numbers. Yay!

Hurrah for you, and hurrah for the patrons of your library!
Glad this didn’t turn out to be some horror story of backlash. I hope the library turned your idea into an annual tradition.
