<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">There was such a list of subjects when I worked at one of the correctional institution libraries in Oregon in the early 90s. It was developed for security purposes. Certain types of books
were not allowed. Books describing bomb making, for example, were not allowed. This was state-wide. Specific titles of fiction could also be restricted for these reasons. Books were not banned just because they included sex or violence. We had a widely
varied collection of popular fiction. The librarians at our facility were not involved with creating these lists but were required to keep these books off our shelves.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">I remember Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses was on the list at the time because it might cause riots. And at our institution an Anne Rice novel was not allowed at our library because the subject
of the book was at our institution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
