[Conntech] Need some advice on complaint of innappropriate art display

[Candice Brown]

 We have had a written complaint from a patron about an item in an art
display which  appears to depict a penis. This display is up until the end
of the month. The patron has asked us to remove it - we don't have a
specific policy on this but follow the ALA Freedom to Read and Freedom to
View Guidelines.  Has anyone had experience with this?  If so, I'd
appreciate some advice if you have it  on how best to respond to the patron.
Please respond off-list.  Many thanks.
