Library Committee Update
April 24, 2023
Dear Parents and Community Members:
Thank you for your interest in the MSBSD District-Wide Library Committee. We had a total of more than 300 applicants for the 13-person committee. A randomized lottery drawing will be held from each of the seven school board voting districts to select parent/community member representation.
Next steps will be as follows:
- Lottery drawing dates are to be determined
- A committee will be formed from the lottery with the following membership:
- 7 parents/community members
- 2 certified staff members
- 2 school board members
- 2 librarians
The meeting dates will be determined after the committee is formed, to be completed in the spring of this year.
There have been several requests for the list of books being challenged as appropriate for school library collections. In total, there are 56 books on the list. That list is attached below.
To help facilitate information-sharing about MSBSD's District-Wide Library Committee, a Library Committee link has been added to the Office of Instruction webpage. Click HERE to visit that page.
A Frequently Asked Questions sheet concerning MSBSD Libraries is linked here.
Thank you!
