Banned Books Week originated in the 1980s as a response to an increase in censorship and challenges to books. It is promoted by the ALA as well as several other organizations, and it has continued to the present day. \r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBanned Books Week recognizes both banned and challenged books. A book that has been challenged has been targeted for removal from a school or library, often due to its content; however, in most cases, the challenge will not be successful, and the book remains available. If a book is banned, this means that the challenge was successful, and the book was removed. The ALA\u2019s website states that, although most challenges do not result in a book being banned, \u201cpart of the Banned Books Week celebration is the fact that, in a majority of cases, the books have remained available\u201d (ALA, 2020). \r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTo celebrate <strong>Banned Books Week<\/strong>, test your knowledge about banned and challenged books with our trivia quiz!
