Challenging Times
A recent YSS Blog commentator referenced the controversy in West Bend Wisconsin over the public library's inclusion of fiction and non-fiction young adult books with gay and/or lesbian content. Here is the link to the blog of the person who is demanding that the materials be removed from the library. http://wbcommunityinfo.blogspot.com/2009/02/west-bend-library-serves-up-gay-books.html Are you prepared to answer the tough questions that parents in your community may ask about books in your collection?
