Professional librarians know to resist censorship. The evidence on how widespread the issue is in the UK is sparse (see Index on Censorship's latest insights here https://lnkd.in/e38EuPK7), but any example is one too many . Best practice from the USA, where book bans are widespread, is to rely on clear institutional policies, which is why CILIP: The library and information association developed its 'Inclusive Collections' guidance https://lnkd.in/eAMykj8X and Intellectual Freedom policy https://lnkd.in/eRNNKRQ9 #IntellectualFreedom #BookBans #Censorship
