Original Note:
The U.S. doesn't ban published books. Some schools and libraries decide not to have books to prevent children from seeing material unsuitable for their age. https://nypost.com/2023/03/08/desantis-plays-graphic-video-of-pornographic-books-found-in-florida-schools/ The claim of 'Empty Shelves' was a hoax. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2023/02/18/teacher-who-perpetrated-empty-shelves-hoax-to-attack-desantis-gets-his-just-deserts-n705528 In America one is free to buy a copy of any published book.
