At Risk Books

Background: On the April 21st Regular Meeting, board members Philip Morrissette, Lisa Hillman, Marc Casciani, Christina Brussalis, Leslie Miller, and Michael Wiethorn voted to approve the purchase of all library books requested with the exception of The Bog Wife, written by Kay Chronister. At issue is the possibility that the book contains “Strong Sexual Content and Themes.”

According to Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education Dr. Pasquinelli, the book was examined by the principal at Pine-Richland High School, and they determined it was appropriate to hold at the High School library.

The book will not be acquired by the library until the book is reviewed by the board, at a date yet to be determined.
