Perhaps create a "Community Interest Collection." This would eliminate the use of potentially triggering words such as "Adult" and "Mature" that have multiple meanings.

I am inclined to agree with John DeSantis when he says, "Prior to the pandemic, no one questioned whether councilors should register for an ALA Conference or Midwinter meeting. I think that it's premature to assume that Council will continue to meet virtually between LibLearnX and Annual. During the ...
