An excellent letter

It's from a librarian who was asked to reconsider a book called, "Uncle Bobby's Wedding," because a certain library patron found the subject matter unsuitable to the small children for whom the book was designed.

Here is the librarian's reply to the request for censorship. Beautiful.

The Douglas County Library System is where I am interviewing next week. :)

I think I'd enjoy working for them, if this response is representative of the way they think.
