I'm very excited to be joining this group, as I think Diversity is extremely important to have within a Library. Weather this is diverse: Cultures, views, families, abilities and many more. However, one thing I found Interesting on my last Open Evening, was that one of the parents were shocked that we displayed, quote on quote 'Controversial' books such as 'The Hate You Give'. In our Library we have these displays to show that we are a diverse Library. I explained that all Libraries should have some kinds of 'Controversial' books as, they give an interesting insight on a particular topic. I just wanted to hear your thoughts on Diverse books being labeled as 'Controversial'.
