  • 1.  Bills Filed Concerning Library Collections & Services

    I assume that we've all been keeping up with the flurry of legislative activities surrounding restrictions or limitations on K-12, public and academic library collections and services. I wondered if any of you have been hired as a consultant in this area, or are acting as a consultant (within or outside of your current job). I'd be interested in knowing whether there is information you could share that could help libraries or states that are trying to fight these issues.

    If you prefer to keep it private, just contact me at christinepeterson1125@gmail.com. Thanks!

    No direct consulting work in this area, but lots of informal conversations. Content challenges have impacted two current clients/client groups.
