This list of most-commonly challenged books in the United States does not list every book that has been challenged in the United States, but just some of the books most-commonly challenged since 1900.
In the United States, many books have been challenged by a variety of groups and agencies in order to prevent a particular work from being read by the general public. In recent years, it has become more common for those challenging the availability of a book to do so on a local level, targeting public libraries and school libraries. In fact, many communities have a formal process by which a citizen can challenge the public availability of a work. That a book's availability has been challenged does not automatically indicate that it has been removed from library shelves in even one community.
