Censorship in the school library

Born and raised in The Netherlands, my view of freedom of speech and the right to have an opinion has always been at the forefront of my being. Growing up in a multi-cultural society with an array of people was normal.. This obviously went hand in hand with a variety of beliefs, cultures and points of view. In the school library we have the obligation to establish a divers and multifaceted collection. We need to make sure literature is not biased but is also addressing issues of the current world. It is not our job as TLs to censor the topics or view points of books, based on our own ideals.
