A fascinating and informative read for librarians, library staff, and MLIS students, this book offers practical information and professional guidelines to examine current issues in censorship and libraries while also enabling readers to consider their own opinions about intellectual freedom.

This book addresses contemporary issues in censorship and intellectual freedom and can serve as an invaluable resource for librarians and other library staff and as an eye-opening read for MLIS students. It covers the waterfront of intricate and thorny issues regarding intellectual freedom, including determining strategies for patron privacy, deciding how to filter public computers, handling challenges to items in a collection, and recognizing and eliminating under-the-radar self-censorship during collection development and weeding. Readers will also gain an understanding of the perils of over-reliance on community assessments and other evaluative tools and consider important concerns of public library employees, such as whether to restrict borrowing privileges of R-rated movies and M-rated video games to patrons of various ages, and the legalities that surround these questions.

Each chapter blends instructive background narrative with practical advice, research findings, and relevant information about librarianship's professional guidelines, including the ALA's Library Bill of Rights and the Freedom to Read Statement. Vignettes, "what would you do?" examples, effective nonconfrontational techniques for conflict resolution, and lists of tips and traps help readers to think critically about their own biases and rehearse possible responses to controversial situations. Librarians, library staff, and MLIS students can use this book for personal professional development, as supplemental reading for MLIS courses or professional training workshops, or as a resource for library policy-planning discussions.

Helps librarians and students better understand the intellectual freedom issues and controversies most common to public libraries and put them into the context of real-world situations

Challenges readers to examine their professional and personal feelings on controversial topics fairly and thoughtfully, with the intent of evolving the library profession

Offers a big-picture approach covering the many facets of censorship (including the seldom-discussed issue of self-censorship) and presents information on alternative review sources and publishers in order to develop well-balanced collections

Serves as a continuing education source on a rarely discussed but often-encountered topic

Downey (Rancho Cucamonga P.L., CA) explores the roles of public librarians as guardians against suppression and censorship. Starting with an overview of the history of censorship in U.S. public libraries, she points out the ethical and philosophical responsibilities of the library profession and the value placed on inclusivity, open access to all types of information, and a fair and balanced approach to collection development and programming. The author suggests tips on dealing with book challenges and developing staff training. She also emphasizes the importance of ensuring that both the collection and programming for kids, teens, and adults are all-encompassing and provides an appendix of resources listing small and alternative publishers that focus on LGBTQ materials and titles by authors of color. VERDICT This edifying guide, along with the current edition of the American Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Manual, is essential reading for library students, librarians, and library administrators.--Donna Marie Smith, Palm Beach Cty. Lib. Syst., FL
