CLA's 2nd Annual Survey of Challenged Materials in Canadian Libraries

Continuing yesterday's trend of posting items long after their “best before” date, here's a press release from the Canadian Library Association 
summarizing their second annual survey of challenges to materials in Canadian libraries.

Oliver Twist, The Golden
Compass and Rolling Stone magazine were among the library
materials challenged by Canadian library users in 2007, according to a
new survey released today.  

The Canadian Library Association’s 2nd annual Survey of
Challenged Materials in Canadian Libraries identified 42 items
challenged by patrons. Children’s books, mainstream films, graphic
novels and popular magazines were all challenged, and a policy on
Internet access was also disputed. The survey was released in advance of
Freedom to Read Week, February 24 to March 1.
