American Library Association offices are units that address broad interests and issues of concern to ALA members. Offices do not have members but are advised by member advisory committees. Offices maintain liaison relationships with ALA round tables, committees and external groups.
Does the American Library Association support banning books?
The ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) tracks attempts to ban or restrict access to books across the United States and to inform the public about censorship efforts in our libraries and schools. A list of banned and challenged titles can be found on the ALA website.
Who decides if a book is banned?
The ALA keeps track of all challenges and bans taken out each year in order to keep the public informed on what is happening in the literary community. Schools, book stores and libraries are the only places that can ban books which have been challenged.
