Most controversial books contain some of the following themes: drugs, homosexuality, sexual content, religious viewpoint, suicide, offensive language, or anti-family. The challenging of books is initiated more often by parents than other individual or group. Librarians should follow materials selection policies, have a policy for challenged books, and be well-informed about intellectual freedom. Hopefully, this will help a librarian be better prepared for challenges and complaints about controversial books.
