- The ALA's report may only account for approximately 25% of efforts to ban books http://www.oif.ala.org/oif/?p=528
- Some seek to ban books for political, religious or moral reasons http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/article...
- The Kite Runner, the Gossip Girl series, and And Tango Makes Three were among the ALA's list of most challanged books in 2008 http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/ba...

Banned books refer to literature that has been forbidden or censured. Reasons for book banning may be due to obscenity, graphic violence or because it has been deemed offensive. Schools, libraries, religious groups and communities sometimes seek to have books banned.http://bannedbooksweek.org/info.html
The last week in September of each year is Banned Books Week. The week long observance is organized by the American Library Association. In 2009, Banned Book Week begins on September 26th and ends on October 3rd.http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/banned/bannedbooksweek/
