Libraries seeing an increase in attempts to ban books
Manage episode 418112788 series 5385
The recent move by Cumberland Council in Western Sydney to ban books about same sex parenting in its libraries is not a one off.
The Australian Library and Information Association says there has been an increase in so-called book challenges in Australia, where community members try to have certain books removed from library shelves.
The move echoes a trend to ban books in the United States and other parts of the world, which has been documented in a new RN Series Banned Books.
