Hi Angela, I agree with your patrons they don't want their children exposed to this subject matter, BUT, I also feel that those who like it and would attend this kind of storytime/event should be able to do it. Could you have a separate event for those who might object? I know that would be double planning, and these people can choose not to come to the other. Just a thought. Carol speaking of my own personal bias these comments do not reflect the library's. On Wed, Sep 28, 2016 at 11:28 AM, Ojibwa Community Library <oclib@up.net> wrote:
Hello all,
Has anybody ever had a patron, or group of patrons, who have complained or challenged the library about a Halloween themed event? I am currently planning a small Halloween themed story time and craft event here. However, I have a group of patrons, who have mentioned that their children are not allowed to read some of the fantasy books we have in the library because they are encouraging thoughts about ghosts, magic, and the supernatural. While they have not challenged the books, I am concerned that they might complain or challenge the event. I was just wondering if any other libraries have had this come up.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!
