The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom provides confidential support to anyone facing a challenge or ban. This support can take the form of letters, book reviews, resources, talking points, or emotional support. Reporting censorship and challenges to materials, resources, and services is vital to developing the best resources to defend library resources and to protect against challenges before they happen. ALA, established in 1876, has a longstanding commitment to defending intellectual freedom in libraries. Even before the formal adoption of the Library Bill of Rights in 1939, ALA provided support, guidance, and resources to librarians facing censorship. Since 1990, the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) has maintained a database on challenged materials. ALA gathers information from media and individual reports submitted using the form. If you have questions or prefer to report the challenge over the phone or by email, contact the ALA at 1-800-545-2433 x4266 or oif@ala.org.
