This summer, Urbandale, Iowa, schools identified nearly 400 books  for removal, including The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, and The Adventures of Honey & Leon by Alan Cumming.

After PEN America and local organizations fighting book bans helped draw attention to the bans, the district dropped its objections to more than 300 books, including Cumming’s, but identified 65 it said violate a new state law. Those books include Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, and James Joyce’s Ulysses. 

Sixty-five books is still a jaw-dropping number. To send a letter asking the district to reconsider, go to pen.org/action.
