As of May 31, 2023, residents of our region have challenged at least 38 books in local public schools and public libraries. We are compiling information on these books, the challenges and how people can acquire them through the public libraries in a spreadsheet which we plan to update periodically. You can download a print-friendly version of this information.
If you’d like to purchase copies of these books, visit The Book Tavern on Broad Street in Augusta.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State’s web site contains several articles in the category “Schools and Learning” which match the search term “bans.”
Columbia County Advocates for Public Education has published a statement about these book challenges.
If you have information we should use to update the spreadsheet or if you want to help resist such challenges, contact us!
