And if consumers are more interested in certain bottles...makes sense. Just like they aren't selling dresses from the 1920s. That library director made a great response. But it's still important for GLBT voices to be heard. Because if there were the makings of a controversy, I expect my director would consult her staff. And most of us are anti-hiding-books anyway, but it'd be great if we could pass along being asked for the book, seeing the book circulate a lot (huge reason to keep it, btw!), and hearing good things from patrons about it. :) As retailers, they’re making the right move by listening to their consumers (at least, if no one gets hurt in the process…I’m not a big fan of how they treat their workers to keep prices low).

I should probably slow down. I've started including you on tips we get as often as I do our contributors! Feel free to tell me to slow down/stop. :) I’m constantly sending you tips, aren’t I?
