Here is a question I'd love some responses to:

What proactive steps do you take for books regarding sensitive topics in this day and age? 

Specifically, books where the characters are in a school setting and there is a threat to students? ex: Give a Boy a Gun, Time Bomb, etc?

Thoughts on two levels:

1. As a librarian with freedom of choice  and 

2. as a librarian who has teachers that may place books in hands of students saying, 'you should read this'.
