Wise Words from a Librarian
In honor of Banned Books Week, here’s the link to Douglas County head librarian Jamie Larue’s wonderful blog post in response to a library patron who wanted my book taken off the shelves.
I’ll be meeting with Jamie on Monday; watch for a video interview online soon!

Sarah,
I recently read Mr. Larue’s letter to the patron that wanted to challenge your book. I must say that Mr. Larue did a fine job defending Uncle Bobby’s Wedding. I just want to wish you and your book well. I think it’s a fine story for children and wish the parents out there would open their eyes to see that there is nothing wrong with your book or gay marriage. We’re in the 21st century! When will the bigotry end?
Best Wishes,
~J
