The Library’s Request for Reconsideration of Library Materials is a three-step process, ending with the complainant meeting with the Library Board. Since the request to consider the institution of policies is of a different nature, at the very least we would have expected communication from our local library stating how they would like to handle the petition request. The Library Board has remained strangely silent since we submitted our petition requests without as much as the courtesy phone call notifying us of this meeting. According to the meeting agenda, this meeting is allegedly about one of the requests submitted on the petition from the West Bend Citizens for Safe Libraries. The lack of communication is unfortunate and implies that they are not interested in speaking to us.

All are invited, we think. Then again, it is hard to say what this is really about. Up to you.
