Dear Colleagues:
I had to write and let you all know that administration has made my
weekend by deciding that we should follow the reconsideration procedure
as outlined in our library policy. They also decided that I should
receive all of the books back and should have the chance to fully review
the three that had not yet been added to our collection. I am overjoyed
and hopeful that some of the challenged books will be allowed to stay.
The janitor/parent is going to be required to read in their entirety all
of the books to which he objects and fill out our detailed
reconsideration form for each he wants removed. Then we will form our
committee and decide whether or not they should stay.
I can't thank all of you enough for your letters and calls offering
support, guidance and helpful information. Several times I was almost
moved to tears when I read your words of encouragement. The best
colleagues in the world must be librarians. Thank you all so much. If
anyone's interested, I'll post an update about whether or not we keep
the books or remove them. Have a great weekend.
