‘Controversy: A Two-Part Exploration of Censorship’
October 03, 2025

To mark Banned Books Week, Oct. 5-11, the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HSHSL) has assembled an exhibit highlighting banned and challenged books in our circulating and historical collections. Although the national observance lasts only one week, our exhibit will remain up longer to give visitors more time to explore. The first floor showcases circulating titles that are available for checkout, while the fifth floor highlights noncirculating historical titles.
Continue the conversation on the HSHSL blog, where you can explore background, book lists, and challenge reasons.
