When a beloved YA author/illustrator/editor gets accused of sexual harassment or assault, or abuse of power, what should librarians do with their works? Keep them on the shelf? Remove? Open discussion with teens regarding the content of the material versus the author's life choices? This is a thorny situation all the way around, but there have been some great blog posts discussing different elements of the problem and various ways to respond. Check out Kelly's take over at Stacked HERE and AASL's thoughts in this post HERE.
