Books are being challenged in libraries in Colorado and across the country. How do libraries prepare for these Challenges? Franca Rosen, Collection Manager at the Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL), will discuss the vision and values of JCPL and the criteria JCPL uses to select books for the collection. When someone challenges a book, video, or program, what is the process for consideration? Who makes the final decision? Ms Rosen will also discuss the challenges to books around Colorado.
Ms Rosen says, “A love of reading, learning and answering questions led to a career as a public librarian. I started in a small Canadian municipal library as a reference and interlibrary loan librarian. A move to Colorado and the Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) was the next step in my library career. I started at JCPL as the Interlibrary Loan Supervisor before moving into the role of the Collection Services and Interlibrary Loan Supervisor. Currently, I am the Collections Manager for JCPL. My career at JCPL spans 31 years and counting.”
