Palahniuk among works challenged by library patrons: Numbers tracked by librarians for Banned Book Week

Harden, Kevin

Abstract

Chuck Palahniuk's new book was one of several challenges to Oregon library books over the course of the fiscal year. The Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse notes that the number of challenges reported is lower than it has been in a decade. Other challenges were based on objections to an author and content that was sexual or cannabis-related.
