This list of most commonly challenged books in the United States does not list every book that has been challenged since 1900, only the most commonly challenged books.[cite web |title= The 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990–2000 |publisher= American Library Association |url= http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooksweek/bbwlinks/100mostfrequently.htm |accessdate= 2008-03-07] ]In the United States many books have been challenged by a variety of groups and agencies in order to prevent a particular work from being read by the general public. In recent years it has become more common for those challenging the availability of a book to do so on a local level, targeting public libraries and school libraries. In fact, many communities have a formal process where a citizen can challenge the public availability of a work. This is a partial list of some of the most commonly challenged books in the United States since 1900.[ Note that challenging the availability of a book does not automatically denote that is has been removed from library shelves in even one community.] The List
