censoring Jesus?

Posted on 15Dec03 by jessamyn
“Perhaps [librarians] would have been more at home with a portrait of Lucifer?” Slight overreaction from the president of the Catholic League from librarians’ decision to remove some, but not all, depictions of Jesus from a library art exhibit. The library stands by its decision, but ALA-OIF says the library policy doesn’t make sense. [thanks Natalia]

One of the nicest online collections I’ve seen, and seasonlly appropriate: the photographs of Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley at the Schwerdtfeger Library at UW. [thanks rebecca]

New York City is voting on their anti-PATRIOT Act resolution today. Hopefully we’ll have good news tomorrow.

it’s calendar time again!

Posted on 15Dec03 by jessamyn
A few little birds have told me that it’s calendar time again this year. In this one, librarians pose naked for charity. Maybe American libraries will start doing this as a way to raise funds for their own libraries.[thanks all]
