When does curation become censorship and what is a bookstore’s responsibility when it comes to children’s books with content some may disagree with? This is a discussion-based session without prescriptive answers. With the assistance of a moderator, booksellers can share their experiences and listen to others as attendees discuss curating a children’s book space that is appropriate for their store and community.
