Statistics About Challenges: Update & History

Each year Colorado libraries receive numerous requests for books, videos, and other materials to be removed from circulation, and for access to certain library services and programs to be restricted or modified because of various objections. The latest edition of the Library Research Service?s FAST FACTS series takes a look at challenged materials and services in Colorado?s public libraries. While the focus is on challenges taking place in 2003 (the latest full year of data), the report also offers historical perspectives relating to challenge activities over past five years.
