UPDATE: MDOC ban on non-English dictionaries
by Meghan McGowan 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Hello everyone! Please forgive my cross-posting as I try to get word out. You may recall an email I sent last week to the listserv regarding the ban on non-English dictionaries in Michigan Department of Corrections<https://medium.com/@norton.nicholasj/dont-ban-dictionaries-michigan-departm…>. This morning, MDOC has rescinded the ban<https://www.michigan.gov/corrections/-/media/Project/Websites/corrections/F…>! While there is still work to be done as the new rule does not include language learning books, we are counting this as a win against arbitrary book bans. Thank you to all who signed! ----------- Meghan McGowan, MA, MLIS she | they (what's this?)<https://www.mypronouns.org/> STEM Librarian Subject Specialist for Public Health (CLAS) , Nutrition and Food Science, and Kinesiology, Health and Sports Studies Schedule an appointment via Zoom<https://wayne.libcal.com/appointments/zoom?u=102271>
