How censorship is the library's biggest threat.

Hello again friends!

The following info-graphic from the Office for Intellectual Freedom (ALA)  is titled: Censorship by the numbers. The reason why it was selected is due to the many ways intellectual freedom is threatened by censorship. Censorship is a direct attack to intellectual freedom in libraries. 

The info-graphic provides a clear definition of what censorship is and the number of censorship attempts during 2018. It provides statistics by type of library of where challenges take place, and some of the main reasons for book challenges.
