Book bans and challenges: June 22, 2024

Here's the latest news from Book Riot on book bans, challenges, and other literary restrictions.

• Kelly Jensen has long warned that book bans are just part of a bigger attack on public libraries and education; she opens this week’s roundup of ban and challenge news with a case study: a public school closure in Iowa. 

• Midwest Tape/hoopla is now saying that it's not adding a "rating system" to the materials it provides to libraries but rather an "audience filter to be used as needed."
