The NY Times article about The Higher Power of Lucky is available at:
_http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/18/books/18newb.html?ex=1172379600&en=d2aecc89 e2c748de&ei=5070&emc=eta1_

In the Intellectual Freedom article, Professor Dianne McAfee Hopkins talks at length about collection development policies and how they "should promote intellectual freedom through a recognition of the value of information in a variety of formats. Materials should reflect the cultural diversity and pluralistic nature of contemporary American society."
I have a few questions for those of you who work in public schools: 1. Do you have a written collection development policy? 2. Are you or are you not including The Higher Power of Lucky in your collection? 3. What is the most relevant phrase, sentence, or passage in your collection development policy that you would point to if you are asked why you are or are not including it in your collection?
