I'm Back

I'm back, at least part time.

If you have missed me on this blog it is because I had a knee replacement on Feb. 26th. I have been concentrating on recuperation. Along the way, I have been tracking email, doing exercises, and reading.

The book I am reading now is by James LaRue and is titled “The New Inquisition: understanding and managing intellectual freedom challenges.” I am finding it very interesting and enlightening. I think it should be required reading for all students in an MLS or Library Media certification program. Jamie does not look at challenges to library materials or services as adversarial but as an opportunity to promote the mission of the library. It is a book that makes you think while guiding you in developing policies and strategies to use when a challenge to materials arrives on your desk at the library.

Borrow or buy a copy for your library and have all staff read and discuss it.
