Some may keep it hidden or in a locked cabinet, but that's likely to be to keep it from theft or vandalism rather than out of the hands of readers of any particular age.<BR/><BR/>Books that have been challenged here (Harvard, IL) in the last five years have been the "Barry Trotter" parodies of Rowling's Harry Potter books, various non-fiction titles on witchcraft and related topics, and, perpetually, anything by Darwin. We don't remove them from the shelves, but they are often stolen, probably to keep them from being read.Gary Lee Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153223880642578636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14369654.post-31161801775642935132007-05-01T10:47:00.000-05:002007-05-01T10:47:00.000-05:00I'm actually surprised my library doesn't own it.L...I'm actually surprised my library doesn't own it.<BR/><BR/>Lol, you mean the home city of Wal-Mart's international HQ doesn't have a full-time library director?The ZenFo Prohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132805758799453850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14369654.post-68491163967872370142007-04-27T20:20:00.000-05:002007-04-27T20:20:00.000-05:00We have a copy.

There is an urban branch that I thought would be more likely to have it (the downtown branch is more likely to have the same-sex community suggest programs etc.).<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah -- same-sex marriages are legal too. And Rosie O'Donnell hosts cruises out here to take advantage of a more tolerant view of same-sex relationships. And the drag queens here turn the heads of even the women.<BR/><BR/>Too bad folks can be so rinky-dink and then greedy to make up for it.Ryan Deschampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604964818059193270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14369654.post-66096369489767701772007-04-25T10:26:00.000-05:002007-04-25T10:26:00.000-05:00Snort!
