The American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) wants to hear about book challenges in your state or region. The OIF is currently finalizing its database on 2014 book challenges around the United States, and "even if you think we probably already know about it, send it to us anyways," says Kristin Pekoll, assistant director of OIF, in an email. Pekoll goes on to write: "Challenges reported to ALA by individuals are kept confidential, and we will cross-check your report with existing entries in the database to avoid duplications." There are a variety of ways to report challenges and support OIF's data compiling, including:

• Filling out the ALA OIF online challenge database form.
• Emailing your questions to: oif@ala.org.
• Sharing the ALA OIF blog post "Did you report that challenge?" with your listserv.

The final deadline for reporting 2014 challenges to OIF is Friday, February 27.
