Below is an email query from Debra Whelan of SLJ. She is writing a piece about serving gay teens in school libraries. I thought there might know a school librarian out there who would like to contact her:

I am writing a feature article about the difficulties of serving gay teens and would love to hear from librarians out in the field. I'd like to know the kinds of things they are doing, the problems they've encountered, and any advice they'd like to give to school librarians who don't know where to start when it comes to building a gay collection for teens. Also, I'd like to hear from those librarians in conservative areas who have encountered problems from colleagues or parents. Please tell anyone who's interested to email me. Thank you so much. All the best, Debra
