Books can be banned through formal challenges by individuals or groups who believe the content is inappropriate or offensive.

Books are banned because they are seen as "unacceptable" due to the content of the book. Some banned books have been banned for including socially unacceptable behavior, such as swearing, sex, gambling, alcohol, drugs, and violence. Other books have been banned due to other religious and cultural sensitivities, such as books containing magic/witchcraft and books depicting talking animals.
Books are banned because of questionable content. Perhaps the book has sexually explicit material not suited for a particular age group. Or, maybe a book is banned because it contains racist material or cruelty to animals. A book can be banned for many reasons.
Books are banned because the people that have the power to do so feel that the information i the book should not be available to other members of the public, the reasoning is always the public good, however upon further investigation this action is more likely to be the the result of apolitical control of information. suppression of information where cultural mores come under attack and books that cover subjects that those in power find offensive because of their cultural beliefs. However offensive a book may seem to one there is rarely a good reason to suppress the distribution of information fiction or non fiction.
books are banned by people who seem to think they have a right to decide
how everyone else should live. people who seem to figure that whatever they
think is "correct" and everyone who doesn't agree with them is wrong.
like this message window here that told me i have to turn off my caps lock, as
if they feel "yelled at", and that's not fair. you know,......liberals.
they will eventually ban air. i'm not using any caps at all, because that seems to
be "the thing" these days. i see the spelling corrector actually underlined "i'm",
as if that's wrong. nothing is ever right to these people. democrat liberals have
been gradually destroying life for many centuries. that's why books get banned.
in fact, i'm absolutely certain that this will never get past their liberal inspection.
i'm wasting electric ink here. that's ok. they never get it and never will.
