In the latest American Libraries Direct, the ALA’s e-newsletter dated 7/9/14, there is an article on “Librarians and censorship” written by a semi-retired librarian, Sandy Bradley. In it, she describes how a patron challenged a picture book she had in her library many years ago, titled “The Steamroller” by Margaret Wise Brown, on the grounds that the little girl in the story had flattened, among other things, a human being. The mother was concerned that it was too violent and that children may believe this could happen without any consequences to the human in question. (This reminds me of the roadrunner and Wiley Coyote cartoons.) This humorous story and others are gathered in a book by Sandy Bradley and another librarian, Elsa Pendleton, titled “ Long Overdue Library Book: Stories Librarians Tell One Another“; the proceeds of which are distributed to libraries. You can read the article here and find the book on Amazon. The authors also publish a blog with the same title, found here.
