In response to recent comments raised by the Chesterfield Observer, the Virginia Library Association affirms the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights, which is based upon rights guaranteed in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
- We believe these comments, including the call for dismissal of school librarians who had produced summer reading lists with a variety of books from which students could choose, a few being cited in the piece as inappropriate reading for students, reflect a misunderstanding of the role of librarians.
