Blankets, Fun Home Back on Shelves

It looked that way early this morning and has since been confirmed and explained a bit in a short e-mail response from Library Director Amy Crump to David Welsh.

This is a positive outcome and wasn't exactly guaranteed despite the implementation of a new material selection policy at the Marshall, Missouri library that removed these well-reviewed graphic novels from their shelves after a patron's complaint as to some of the more adult aspects of each book. Both Blankets and Fun Home would meet the criterion that acknowledges the desirability of having award-winning work on the shelves, but one had to wonder if the books might not be left off as the library pressed forward on the more general issue.
