I was amused. My library system has a VERY easy out for this. Any books you try to give to the Library, goes immediately to the Friends. Who turn around and sell them. We do not take any donations and put them on the shelves for lending. We don't even take books in kind (which is annoying). But that's a dilemma if you do not such a policy. Because the last thing you want to do is put false or misleading info in the stacks. I saw that article. I was amused.

Having a gay family member, I would have difficulty including such literature in my collection. However, like you say, if it was scientific in nature and posed clear opposing information, it would be my duty to include it. Of course, I'm just a mom and wouldn't have to make that decision! I think there is definitely more than one side to that decision. This definitely is an interesting issue.
