Keep ImagineIF Collections Open to Everyone

The ImagineIF Library Board is considering a new policy that would "avoid materials" that talk about sex or are obscene - without defining what that means. This change would limit access to what people can read and let a small group's moral agenda determine what is appropriate for everyone else.

The ImagineIF Foundation has issued a statement of concerns about the proposed changes saying it could a) bring successful and expensive censorship lawsuits to our library system, b) allow broad overreach in determining the re-shelving of books, while c) removing professional sources as needed for review of materials.
