GEN: Experiences with book challenges

[Jennifer Thomas <jlt6@ACSU.BUFFALO.EDU>]

I am a graduate student at the University at Buffalo and am currently
reviewing and reporting on censored and challenged books; specifically,
children's books.  I am interested in hearing from any of you who have
experienced this issue within your library or school district   What titles
were in question?,  What was the response of the community?,  Who issued the
challenge of the book?,  What were the implications,  ex. how did it effect
library use or collection development?,  and How did you resolve it?  Thank
you in advance to all who are willing to respond to this request.  If others
are interested  I will post a "hit" of the responses I receive.
