Comment on Kate Messner’s Wish by Rebecca King http://www.oif.ala.org/oif/?p=6846#comment-469406 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 15:02:57 +0000 http://www.oif.ala.org/oif/?p=6846#comment-469406 I agree with the librarian 100% and believe she is making the right decision for the children in her ELEMENTARY school. This book might be appropriate in a middle school library. Let’s respect the right of the librarian to make the choices for her school. If the library wanted to have 1 or 2 copies of the book available behind the desk so that if a counselor or teacher felt a child might benefit from reading the book, let that be an option.

I don’t expect the public school library to be my child’s only source of books. We go to the public library and also purchse books. I want my daughter to read books about Catholic saints. Should I require the public school library to have those books? No, and I suspect many of the people who are commenting on this thread would be appalled that anyone would suggest that religious books should be in a public school library. I buy those books for her because it is important to our family.

Thank you, librarian for making the right decision for your school community.

I’ve gotten a form letter response acknowledging my request, giving it a tracking number, and stating their standard price schedule for filling requests. We’ll see what comes of it.
