Challenged Book Procedure

It is important to have a challenged book procedure in place so that when a situation arises, the library media specialist is able to handle the situation in an organized and effective way.  The procedure could also be helpful for parents and community members.  When someone has a question about why a book is in the library, having  a procedure in place will allow them to understand how books are selected.  Also, if a problem arises, the procedure will be known by the administration and the media center specialist.  A copy of the procedure for selecting books should be available for anyone to see.
