Marshall Library Board Considers New Selection Policy, Hears From Patrons

An entertaining day-after article at the Marshall Democrat-News covers the Wednesday night meeting of the public library board, who were to consider or at least hear a materials selection policy brought about when a library-goer complained about material found in the graphic novel memoirs Blankets (Craig Thompson) and Fun Home (Alison Bechdel). I'm still not exactly certain why the new policy isn't used first on the two books in question, but the board seemed to resist a move in this direction.

The bulk of the article talks about two citizens given opportunity to speak on the subject, including a gentleman who apparently has no grasp of the concept of critical acclaim.

David Welsh has been covering this better than any other blogger.
