[aisle] Elementary Censorship Question?

[Tara Donnelly]

Hi Colleen-
Sorry to hear you are dealing with this. There are many librarians around
the country who unfortunately are also dealing with this. The good news is
that there are a number of resources available.

And please report this challenge to ALA so that it can be included in
statistics.

Hope these are helpful.
