[Libs-Or] OLA/OIFC Statement and Findings - MSD/Handmaid's Tale

[Emily O'Neal]

Hello OLA community,
Yesterday OLA and the OIFC published a Statement of the OIFC review and findings regarding Medford School District's removal of "The Handmaid's Tale: The Graphic Novel".  Each month the OIFC publishes a "Tuesday Topic" but for this month, it seemed more important to highlight this statement and findings.  Therefore, please see the linked statement.

If you have any questions, or you have a need for policies and updates as described in this statement, please feel free to reach out to the OIFC!  We are here to help avoid situations like this in the future and would love to be a support network to you all.  Please see our toolkit here: https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/iftoolkit/ for additional resources.

Thank you all! And happy Banned Books Week!
Emily - OIFC Chair
