article forwarded by a friend - what do you think?

[snip] We tend to follow whatever seems popular, also. Budget constraints don't allow us to automatically buy whatever new editions there are, but if someone puts in a purchase request for something, the director will buy it. We also have some that folks might not agree with, but it's a library's job to provide whatever folks want to read. We have had Dobson's books stolen, though. (I won't get on my soapbox about censorship ;-) I have told the librarians about a finance book wich gave legal advice that was applicable under US laws but completely wrong under UK laws: I thought there ought to have been a warning that this advice was bad for people in the UK. I don't believe in censorship, but I did read one library book that I thoughthad appalling childcare advice, even worse then Ezzo/Dobson. It was by someone who had written books for adults and had never brought up any children himself (he had a son on another continent). The advice in the book can be summarised as "allowing children to show *any* emotion is bad, and they should be told it is 'piggy' doing it". -- Penny Gaines UK mum to three |
