A8 #TLSkyChat I have a group of librarians that are a great resource when I’m questioning a book. I’ve relied on them many times when purchasing & weeding books. They are a great reality check.
💛📚 Q8: What steps can we take as librarians to recognize and avoid self-censorship when selecting or recommending materials? Share A8 with #TLSkyChat. tlskychat.com

A7 #TLSkyChat Our district has some requirements for book purchases (like 2 professional positive reviews). There is also a district wide procedure for when a challenge is made or questioning a library book.
Q7 for tonight’s #TLSkyChat!
💬 What are some proactive approaches to book challenges that we can implement beforeand after Banned Books Week to help strengthen our community’s commitment to equitable access to all library resources?

#TLSkyChat We are required to review & update our collection development policy annually based on district library regulations. Each library develops their own CDP. We review it w our admin. The 1st year my admin said he had no idea I did all that! They include access & intellectual freedom policies

A4 #TLSkyChat as I said earlier, I have a book display, bookmarks (w various messages) & coloring pages (Bad Kitty this year). At the ES level, I find the resources a bit lacking. This year’s resources referencing 1984 isn’t meaningful for our ES students.
