What libraries ban books?

Answer 1

Yes.

This answer above would be highly unlikely. Libraries are strongholds of support for constitutional freedoms.

Members of the public who want to dictate who-can-read-what according to their own particular views often request that libraries remove books they disapprove of. This is rarely, if ever, done because libraries provide a broad range of types of information for everyone.

Even if access to a book is limited, books are not banned by libraries.

However, libraries can not buy and store every book published. Librarians choose books through selection processes that provide for a good general coverage of areas of knowledge and deeper coverage of areas of interest to their users. So, one library might have very little on marine Biology but have lots of cookbooks. Another library might have very little on automobile repair but have lots of books on music. Although some areas might have lesser coverage in a particular library's collection, books are not banned in these areas. Individual members of the public who want to personally dictate what information others have access to try to ban books.

Associations/organizations that want to dictate what information others have access to try to ban books. Librarians and libraries do not ban books.

Yes!! one time i was just eating some applesauce in the young adult room, and i was banned from the room for 15 minutes, so i guess if you were to do something that is actually wrong, they could ban you. [true story]

Answer 3

Libraries rarely - if ever - ban books. One of the fundamental values of libraries (and librarians) is the right and freedom for all to read; banning or limiting access to a specific book goes against this. As such, libraries and librarians advocate against censorship, and they continuously make an effort to stand up for the right to read.

If a book in a collection is challenged, a library will typically look into the complaint and make a decision as to whether or not they will take action. School libraries are more likely to remove a book from the collection if there have been complaints from parents or community members. Public libraries may decide, depending on the book, to remove it from the collection, or to otherwise restrict access, if it is determined that the book goes against their policies and/or if it is decided that the community would be better served by having the book removed. In most cases, however, the book will remain within the collection. Academic libraries rarely - if ever - remove challenged books from their shelves (though they may decide to restrict access to certain items).
