A fellow librarian (not yet on this listserv, though she promises to join)
asked me to post this for her. A teacher requested that she purchase the
following books for the high school library and she's afraid that she'll
end up with censorship problems. Do any of you have these books?
What is your opinion of how she should handle this?
Thanks,
Linda

most of these books were inappropriate for a high
school library. I would like to know other librarians' opinions.
