After feedback from some parents, I long ago separated out our Holocaust picture books and put them on a high shelf. If parents want their kids to have access to them, that must be their decision. For the JA (Junior Advanced, age 7-11), I do have age appropriate Holocaust titles available, but after having been burned once (a parent got very angry with me), I make sure parents give permission first. I don't put restrictions on the older kids with YA books. Rachel HausLibrary DirectorCongregation of Moses Fisher LibraryKalamazoo MI

Report Suspicious ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEndHi,In my library, we have been toying with the idea of separating out books having to do with the Holocaust for young and grade school children to their own location. We worry about parents getting upset if a child picks out a book, without proper preparation for the topic. I would appreciate some feedback about the subject. Thanks.
