Book bans have been hot topics in the news in recent years as communities challenge books discussing race, police brutality, sexual orientation, and gender identity. However, books have been banned or challenged in the United States for many years. Interestingly, the reasons behind book bans have not changed much.
If you live in an area that had been heavily impacted by the current book bans, it can be difficult to find certain books at your local or school library. Online libraries are a solution for this, however, most of the free, online libraries focus on classic Western literature.
That's OK, though. Many books now considered classic literature were once banned. In this resource, you'll find 10 classic books that were once banned and the online libraries where you can read them. Read the list by clicking 10 Banned Classic Books.
