CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The Banned Bookmobile Tour arrived in South Florida Sunday morning with a library of banned literature. Several of the books on the tour are -- as the name would imply -- either banned or currently subjected to book ban legislation. The tour comes as the Sunshine State remains one of states with the highest amount of banned books. As the war-on-books continues, Floridians gathered at Books and Books in Coral Gables. According to PEN America, more than 3,300 books were banned during the 2022-23 school year, with Florida banning more than 1,400.
