"If the book we are reading does not wake us, as with a fist hammering on our skulls, then why do we read it? Good God, we also would be happy if we had no books and such books that make us happy we could, if need be, write ourselves. What we must have are those books that come on us like ill fortune, like the death of one we love better than ourselves, like suicide. A book must be an ice axe to break the sea frozen inside us."

—Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Austrian writer, The Metamorphosis, The Trial

 

Challenge to the Library Collection

Document Actions

The Library has a clearly defined method in writing, for dealing with complaints. The Library Director and Board are an important part of this policy consisting of formal review procedures for challenged material. A form should be used to identify the complainant's specific concerns; the Board will review challenged materials; and no restrictions should be placed on the use of the materials until the review process has been completed. The Board will review the library Acquisitions Statement and consult with the Director.
