When I choose to include or exclude a library book or other resource from my library's collection, it is NOT censorship, IT IS SELECTION! I have to carefully weigh the pros and cons about each item and determine what are the best choices based on my limited budget and my school community. If someone opts to call the selection process "censorship," then they really don't understand the complexities of being a school librarian when budgets will only stretch so far. There's so much good stuff available - in print, in media, in online resources - that selection becomes even more challenging! "VAN" ------------ Diane K.
