Link to June 8 Fond du Lac Reporter article, "'Sisterhood' book will remain on Theisen library shelves".

Excerpt: A popular young adult book, “Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood,” by Ann Brashares will remain on the library shelf at Theisen Middle School.

In a 7-1 vote Monday night, a reconsideration committee decided the book’s value as a reading source for middle school students trumped parent Ann Wentworth’s objection to content she labeled “age inappropriate” and “sexual.”
