I’m British though quite an avid follower of US news. I have listened to podcasts discussing book bans (e.g. Jon Ronson) and much of the discussion was around removing books from school libraries.

Additionally, I searched “fox news book bans” and “nbc book bans” and these were the first links that came up.

> Maia Kobabe’s book "Gender Queer" became one of the most banned books in the country in 2022. The book has been at the center of the debate over what books should be banned in schools.

> School districts in 26 states have banned more than 1,000 books in the past nine months

Additionally, the Wikipedia article “ 2021–2022 book banning in the United States” discusses various cases of books being withdrawn from school libraries.
