Library Purchases Challenged Books

Censored stamp

Recently libraries have experienced a significant increase in state and local book challenges. Kalamazoo College Library recognizes that today’s elementary and secondary school students are tomorrow’s college students, and they need access to these titles. We also support our own students and faculty in researching these issues. This is why we have intentionally purchased some of the most challenged books of 2023.

Check out our Virtual Book Display for Sexual Assault Survivors for some of our library’s resources and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center for more on Sexual Assault Awareness Month
