When I voted, the survey read that 88% (709) had voted NOT to remove it from the lists....so keep voting. (Also, just a note...there is no restriction on the number of times you can vote apparently, because I wanted to check the responses again and had to vote in order to see what had been done prior to my last vote and I was allowed to vote again...I did.) ~Shonda Brisco Trinity Valley MS / US Librarian Fort Worth, TX briscos@trinityvalleyschool.org -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of McMurray, Joyce Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 12:46 PM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: [LM_NET] Please help today-The Giver survey!! Importance: High Fellow LM-Netters: Your help is needed today!!! Newbery Medal award book, The Giver by Lois Lowry is currently being challenged in the Kansas City, Missouri area (Blue Springs, MO). A local TV news station is making a really big deal of the whole issue. They are even currently running a survey on their website asking the public whether or not this book should be banned from the reading list! It is my understanding that currently 80% of the respondents are in favor of banning the book from the reading lists. Please help us put this issue to rest now! Check out the story and please participate in the survey at the website below: http://www.thekansascitychannel.com/kmbctv/4056827/detail.html The survey is embedded in the news story. We'll keep you posted as to how all of this unfolds. Thanks for your much needed help!
