rights, Black Lives Matter, anti-immigrant sentiment, international challenges, politics, working with culturally sensitive material, weeding as a form of censorship, self-censorship, displays, intellectual freedom, disinvited speakers, trigger warnings,

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Essay Guidelines</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Essays should be no more than 2500 words in length, and should provide details of a full experience, from initial contact through ultimate resolution. Essays can be a first person
narrative or a case study description. I am also seeking descriptions of interactions that may not have ended in a formal challenge or request for reconsideration. These anecdotes should reflect the concerns of either the patron or the librarian or both.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Tips on writing: Explain the situation and how you were involved. What were some of the most interesting and/or difficult parts of the situation? How was the issue resolved?
What resources did you draw upon (don’t list resources; tell us about the resources and why they were helpful)? Had you received any training on handling challenges prior to the situation you describe? Have you received any since? Did your library have a procedure
in place? If not, does it have one now? What did you learn from the experience? What advice would you give to someone in a similar situation?
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Writers should include the facts of the challenge. If this is information is based on a personal experience, please share your thoughts and feelings about the confrontation, dealing
with administrators, and dealing with the public.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
