Related Questionnaire Oct 22, 2024
2024 Caller-Times questionnaire on the Library Board book-collection policy
2024 Caller-Times questionnaire: 'There has been controversy surrounding policy suggestions by the Library Board. What is your position on new recommendations for the book collection policy?' Scott (2024 at-large candidate, now incumbent) did not take a position on the LGBTQ+ books or DEI language; he said existing controls already exist and the debate is about 'moving the needle' on the youth section.
“I appreciate the Library Board's advisory status and appreciate the lively debates. I also appreciate the Library staff's ability to adopt or reject any recommendations. I find the debate interesting. We already have controls. It is not like we don't. We currently have controls to keep some books from the young adult section. The debate is about "moving the needle" on what is allowed in the youth section. I think some people get lost in that.”
