"Missing from the Shelf: Book Challenges and Lack of Diversity in Children's Literature" details how local challenges to books—including highly awarded literary works like Toni Morrison's Beloved and bestsellers like J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series—remain surprisingly frequent across the United States, with more than 275 book challenges documented by the American Library Association in 2015. Click here for more information.
