Florida's Book Bans and Challenges
- Description
- What some political groups want to hide from readers. | There are so many of these books that this list has been created to avoid burying books in the main list on LibraryThing, https://www.librarything.com/list/374/all/Banned-or-Challenged-Books. | Create a personal reading or tracking list from this one with the "Add to your list" links. Please also add books challenged, partially censored, or straight-out banned in the state of Florida if you don't see them here.
