What do you think about the stance that Victorian public libraries have taken about keeping Craig Silvey’s children’s books on their shelves on the basis of intellectual freedom, reinforcing the importance of not censoring? As a librarian, I disagree with this from a child safety and wellbeing perspective. I don’t believe it is a “slippery slope” to censorship, as many librarians say. I find it difficult that my colleagues are staunchly adhering to this ideology with no nuance or critical thinking applied to this particular situation. In times like this as information professionals we should be empowered to make informed decisions for the betterment of our communities. Keeping books on our shelves written FOR children BY a child abuser is not that.
