This list of books show locations in New Hanover County School Libraries.  These books have sexually inappropriate content or confusing gender concepts or content.. No data base is available to determine whether classrooms may or may not contain these books. Therefore, we encourage citizens to inquire of teachers and administrators to verify they are not present or being used for instruction of any kind. Libby, Overdrive, and other ebook sources used in schools are also not reflected in this list.
We do our best to keep the lists up to date. If you see a change that needs to be made, please contact us.
