Summary:This collection of questions from readers and Scales' informative answers are gathered in broad thematic groups to help readers explore the all-too-daily reality of confronting efforts to censor, ban, or otherwise limit open and ready access to materials in our schools and libraries. They were all written in response to active book challenges or questions of intellectual freedom and library ethics.
