Library Science, Year I

[thefireisblack]

After my first year, I wanted to a compile some of the key points to my program as this was definitely an improvement over my first secondary education experience. Warning this is another long post

Lord of the Flies promotes Satanism? In what universe? O_o

I have no idea, really I have no idea. This is exactly the reason why I put my foot down against working in a school library. Because funding is even more limited and the principal gets final word, more likely than not a challenged book will be a pulled book. Every other kind of library would not have that kind of trouble because they're for public use and they'll hold everything. Of course, since I'm going into cataloguing, I probably won't have to worry about that part ^^

If anyone approached me with those kids books and started using those reasons...I don't know whether I'll be yelling or laughing. My friends found this list a hoot.

"Lewis, C.S. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. - Anti-Christian, promotes witchcraft."

Dudez, LWW's a Jesus allegory.

You know that and I know that but they (whoever they are who decided to challenge the book with that reasoning) obviously don't know that. >< For Pete's sake, they need to read the rest of C.S. Lewis's bibliography...

For serious.

Made for a good laugh, though.

It does, but it worries you some to that people are thinking these are viable reasons.

On another hand, it does give out an interesting reading list ^^

That is a very cute tree. I thought it was a gnarled hand at first, but it has an equally creepy effect as a 'scary tree resembling a gnarled hand

That is a very cute tree. I thought it was a gnarled hand at first, but it has an equally creepy effect as a 'scary tree resembling a gnarled hand'. :)

As long as that's what people thought it was, I'm happy. I wanted tree but gnarled hand tree was perfect considering the circumstances :3

Yeah, those books aren't in the range of high hate literature and frankly, I think we should let kids decide for themselves if they hate it or not. Or maybe that's the plan to, to keep kids from thinking in future generations -_-;

So glad I'm not the only who was thinking Gambit when I read that (yes he will never leave us alone will he?) As for Harlequin, that's the mother name with a bunch of imprints under it and is sadly a Canadian company >_<; I've been reading them since 14 because there was time I was trapped in the hospital and those were the only books to read...sadly I have a slight addiction to them now...not that I will ever let someone catch me reading them. I still feel embarrassed buying them for my mother since she loves them and
