The book “Let’s talk About It” has been moved from the teen section of the Hamilton East Library to the general nonfiction book collection.  The library board voted unanimously to reorganize the Teen Zone book collection.

At the February 4th board meeting, library staff was directed to review the “Let’s Talk About It” book due to its sexual content.  Library Director Edra Waterman recommended that the reorganization of the Teen Zone be conducted in response.  “Let’s Talk About It’ has been moved out of the Teen Zone to the general nonfiction book shelves.

13 people spoke at the Thursday afternoon board session, most wanting “Let’s Talk About It” to be moved out of the Teen Zone, with three saying the book should remain in the Teen Zone.

Waterman said the Teen Zone reorganization project will require  her librarian staff to review 12, 600 book titles by the end of June this year.
