Yes, we are facing book challenges in Brookfield High School. Several calls to remove:

This Book is Gay - an ebook in our catalog via the eGo program with the CT State Library
Fun Home

One call to remove

Me, and Earl, and the Dying Girl

Luckily, our reconsideration policy is recently revised and backed by ALA guidance. We will follow our existing policy.

I haven’t looked yet for a publicly available list of CT school districts currently facing challenges. If it doesn’t exist yet, it should. Transparency is important here.
