Jim & TLN-
There was also a brief article in TIME earlier this week that addressed increasingly frequent challenges at school libraries:

Good Morning,
Thought I would share this PW article that discusses what appears to be an increasingly organized, possibly national trend to challenge and/or ban books. I am not on the "front lines" as nearly all of you are, so just wondering if we are seeing this trend in Michigan as well. If not, then the increased number of challenges/ban efforts that are taking place in other states might be something to keep in mind.
