<p class="MsoNormal">IHLS recently updated and republished our book challenges and censorship page to include a step-by-step tool for what to do with regard to book complaints or challenges, no matter where you are in the process. Just click on school libraries
and follow the check list for which ever stage you find yourself! I hope this will be helpful to you if you find yourself with a book challenge.
