Dear Colleagues:
Attached, please find a Letter of Concern about libraries and librarians that support labeling/rating systems. It is a continuation of a debate that started in December on ALA Connect. This letter is addressed to the IFRT Executive Committee and Membership. It was placed on the agenda of the March 10 Executive Committee meeting based on the request of the signatories. However, it was removed from the agenda by the IFRT chair-elect at the beginning of the meeting, based on the claim that she needed time for other business.
Frieda Afary
IFRT Director-at-Large
Public Librarian, Los Angeles
