Dear LM_NETTERS, I need your suggestions once again.I was reading in the archives about various situations encountered on challenged books. Well, I have quite a few books being challenged by a teacher in my own high school. I guess I made the mistake of sending out periodice notices to the staff about new materials as we get them in the media center. This teacher, rather than coming to me, went directly to the Asst. Superintendant of Instruction with her complaints. He, of course, inquired how I select my books. I told him a few were suggested by the counselors (AA book, Queer Kids, Two Teenagers) and others by kids and the public library. He said that I should select all books approved by the ALA. I am asking for your help, as I know you all have more experience than I do, as this is only my second year as a LMS. These are the books in question. He wants me to send him reviews and criteria for selection by ALA, which I can't get, of course. Please give me your opinions.
