2009 Most Frequently Challenged Books List

The American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom has released its list of the Top Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2009. Lauren Myracle’s Internet girl series – ttyl, ttfn, and l8r g8r - tops the list, replacing the children’s book, And Tango Makes Three in the top spot.
The Office for Intellectual Freedom recorded a total of 460 challenges in 2009. For every challenge reported they estimate that there are 4 or 5 challenges that go unreported. They monitor challenge situations across the country, providing information and assistance to librarians and teachers facing attempts to remove or restrict materials in schools and libraries.
