Marshall Democrat-News reporter Zach Sims covers the first meeting of the committee tasked to develop a materials selection policy for the public library. The group’s first step was to gather existing materials selection policies from other library systems to give them a starting point for their own:
“‘There’s no reason for us to re-invent the wheel if we don’t have to,’ said Ann Aulger, vice-president of the library board.”
And perhaps I’m overly cynical, but this quote from committee member Connie Grisier triggers my Community Standards Early Warning System:
“Grisier said that she did not want to ‘compare our policies to different-sized communities.'”
But I could just be over-reacting.
