读者咨询:禁书周,9月27日至10月3日,2014年

分读

冬青Hibner和玛丽凯利

禁书周庆祝自由阅读。它始于1982年,当时有在书的数量突然上扬学校和图书馆受到挑战。挑战一个惊人的数量发生每年(307报道在2013年,根据知识自由办公室!),和禁书周is a way to celebrate the value of open access to information (1). It is important to point out that of those 307 challenges, few of them were actually banned. The diligence of teachers, librarians, and informed citizens ensured the freedom to read in most situations.

The reasons cited in book challenges often include “sexually explicit” material, “offensive language,” “unsuited to age group,” “violence,” and “homosexuality.” In reader advisory, it is important – crucial, even! – to find out the reader’s comfort level with these factors. At the same time, it is important not to push a bias onto the reader or unfairly characterize a book in any of these ways. How, then, does one link book to reader when these dynamics do, in fact, exist? Readers may be embarrassed to admit that they喜欢露骨的材料!或者相反:我记得一个很好的资深女人谁想要绝nosex, language, or violence, and only wanted to read about teachers and preachers. As reader advisors, we make no judgments and simply try to find the reader a book to suit their interests.

下面是一些经常受到挑战冠军(2)一些读相似者。有多种在此列表中,以满足所有的舒适度。这确实是禁书周的点,不是吗?为了庆祝这一事实,在图书馆,我们每个人的东西,并努力继续这一传统!
