It looks like some are on there for being sexually graphic, depicting racism, and I'm not sure why LOTR gets on there... maybe the right is a little too right sometimes? Or does the left get to ban some books when the right bans some. IDK
I remember Harry Potter was very controversial back in the day for teaching kids "witchcraft". The last time I read it in my mid 20s, I was surprised how Rowling hid a lot of Christianity in a bestseller kids' book.
i liked this comment from someone: "that's what the tall shelves are for in the library"
