Jessamine County Public Library Delays Collection Development Policy Review


Link
to January 27 Jessamine Journal report, "Revisions of library policy delayed".

Excerpt: The Jessamine County Public Library Board of Trustees will have to wait another month to review a revised collection-development policy after the library’s policy committee announced it was not finished with the proposed changes in time to put it before the board at its Jan. 20 meeting.

The newly formed policy committee was examining the collection-development policy after community concerns and heated debate in recent months about content in the library that some deemed obscene and pornographic. The policy provides guidelines for the selection of materials for the library’s collection.

Background here, here, and here.
