Where to Find Public Lists of Banned Books in US States? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm curious about where I can find public lists of banned books across various states in the US. Are these lists openly accessible to the public, or do they mainly remain internal documents shared between the government and libraries?

A better question is how to mirror banned books and help make them available to everyone.

They are probably already mirrored in Anna's Archie. Anyone can help with the load by seeding some of the archive's torrents.
