Teen Vogue
by Valerie Meyerson 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

I've just received my first "inquiry" into the most recent Teen Vogue issue and it's not even on the shelf yet! After reading about the article in question, I'm really not that surprised, knowing my community. So, just a heads up to the greater library community that this most likely will bring inquiries and/or complaints and to make sure all staff is well versed in how to handle reconsideration requests. This one could be a doozy! Happy weekend everyone. _________________________________________________________________________________ Valerie Meyerson, Library Director Petoskey District Library 231.758.3120 231.881.7676 vmeyerson(a)petoskeylibrary.org<mailto:vmeyerson@petoskeylibrary.org> Please think about the environment before printing this message.
