I think, with all the authors out there, we'd probably not have much of a collection if we excluded authors repugnant to someone-gays, blacks, radical right, radical left, murderers (won't include the autobiography or the true crime written by the criminal)? I suppose we wouldn't have works about or by Roman Polanski or anything he's produced, and whoever else has done something egregious to someone! So, if your general population does not know a lot about the author, but the literature is popular and doesn't hint at this activity, why remove it? He certainly won't be writing or publishing much more kiddie lit going forward! Dale Ricklefs, Library Director Round Rock Public Library 216 E.

K.P. Bath the author of The Secret of Castle Cant was sentenced to 6 to 7 years in prison for child pornography, it was suggested to me that I should remove his books from the shelves as he writes children's fiction.
