In total, for the nine-month period represented, the Index lists 1,586 instances of individual books being banned, affecting 1,145 unique book titles.The findings in this report demonstrate a profound increase in both the number of books banned and the intense focus on books that relate to communities of color and LGBTQ+ subjects over the past nine months. In recent years PEN America has typically encountered a handful of such cases each year.

At the same time, the scale and force of book banning in local communities is escalating dramatically. Today, state legislators are introducing - and in some cases passing - educational gag orders to censor teachers, proposals to track and monitor teachers, and mechanisms to facilitate book banning in school districts. The report also highlighted the disproportionate targeting of books by or about people whose identities and stories have traditionally been underrepresented in childrenвЂ™s and young adult literature, such as people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, or persons with disabilities. In 2016, PEN America published Missing from the Shelf: Book Challenges and Lack of Diversity in ChildrenвЂ™s Literature, which described instances of вЂsoft censorshipвЂ™ taking place in schools and libraries in response to parentsвЂ™ challenges of books. While this is the first time PEN America has conducted a formal count of books banned, the organization has fought back against book bans for decades. The Index documents decisions to ban books in school libraries and classrooms in the United States from Jto March 31, 2022. In response, PEN America has collated an Index of School Book Bans, offering a snapshot of the trend. Over the past nine months, the scope of such censorship has expanded rapidly.
