Intellectual freedom for teens
a practical guide for young adult and school librarians
by Kristin Fletcher-Spear and Kelly Tyler
A majority of the banned books in the United States are either YA books or adult books that teens frequently read, which means that YA librarians must understand what it means to ban a book and be prepared for a such a situation. Written by Kristin Fletcher-Spears, an administrative librarian at the Foothills Branch Library in Glendale, Arizona, and Kelly Tyler, the branch manager of the Van Nuys branch of the Los Angeles Public Library, this book offers real guidance to librarians on the topic of intellectual freedom for teens. The book begins by explaining what intellectual freedom is and then explores how libraries can prepare themselves before a complaint is made and what they can do in the event of a challenge. Special attention is paid to how marketing can benefit libraries and how digital access fits into intellectual freedom.
