According to a report by PEN America, there were over 1,400 book ban cases across 33 Florida school districts during the 2022-23 school year -– more than any other state.

In response to these statistics, the League of Women Voters of Florida analyzed the Library Materials Objection Policies in all 67 county school districts in Florida. The report identifies several problem issues and makes recommendations to prevent the excessive removal of library materials in Florida schools.
