Handling Book Challenges

During this session, panelists will discuss recent book challenges their libraries have faced and how they navigated these objections. Most of us are familiar with the basic strategies for dealing with reconsideration; having a robust acquisitions policy, making sure messaging is consistent, and memorizing ALA statements regarding intellectual freedom, but facing these highly charged situations in the moment is easier said than done. Join us for this important discussion on a timely subject, and brainstorm practical strategies for handling these difficult interactions.
