Banned in what sense?
Some books have been banned in parts of the world. Some have been banned in entire countries, specific areas, cities, schools, libraries, etc.. For example, Grapes of Wrath was banned in a certain part of California.

We have several of them in our collection, some of which I have had since I was a kid. Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Fahrenheit 451 (hilarious irony...), The Handmaid's Tale, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Grapes of Wrath, Frankenstein, The Davinci Code, To Kill a Mockingbird, Neverwhere, Girl Interrupted, Age of Reason, Lord of the Flies, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Color Purple, His Dark Materials trilogy, etc...
And the number of books actually banned is just a fraction of the books that are challenged every year. Books like the Harry Potter series, Bone (graphic novel), Hunger Games, and countless others.
