Possible Challenges

• Sexual Content
• Alcohol/ Drug References
• Violence

Defense File

Have the library's selection policy and the Library Bill of Rights ready to hand out

Access to honest reviews from trusted sources

Know the awards, if any, the book has earned

Understand the material so you can explain the use of the book as a good talking point for serious and sensitive issues

A lot of times people just want their concerns heard, so make sure you listen

If they are still persistent be able to offer them a reconsideration form

Reason for Inclusion
I have included this CD within my collection because of the popularity of Taylor Swift with teenagers today and this CD has some of her most beloved songs on it along with a whole lot of other good ones
