The state of Utah has been on a book banning blitz in 2026. Late Monday, July 8, the state added its 36th book to the list of books that must be removed from every public school in the state: Different Seasons by Stephen King. The ban comes amidst a lawsuit challenging these state-sanctioned bans filed in February, and it comes after banning 16 other books in 2026 alone.
With a total of 17 books banned in Utah in 2026, this is now the busiest year for banning books in the state, surpassing the first year of the state’s book removal law, 2024, where 14 titles were banned.
