The Librarian's Reaction : .

Disclaimer: My views and opinion should never be taken seriously.

As a Librarian, It's our duty and utmost responsibility to evaluate the collections we display in our Library... As a Librarian we make big impact and reflection for the School's Image. 

The Library offers accessible medium of information for students and faculty  . The fact that most of the collections are recommended by Librarians, it's important that we suggest and promote collections that are highly integrated with the School's curriculum, objective, mission, vision and the like.   

We should also understand that the School primary stakeholders include the Parents. The tuition fees they paid , the trust they give and unending voluntary support for the School.

Going back,"Is it okay to put books with highly controversial and debatable topic?"

2) A Parents Committee suggested to...
3) Library Manual for Acquisition Policy is at risk

My answer is Yes!!!
If the following criteria will be affected in the book selection:

1) In accordance to School's curriculum, objective, mission and vision.   
2) Treated as Special Collections with Supervision 
3) It promotes moral and Humanistic Approach
