Request Assistance from the
Kansas
Library Association
The Kansas Library Association cannot
provide legal counsel or direct funding to handle requests for reconsideration
of materials but will offer the skills, experience and energy of its membership
to defend established intellectual freedom principles. The Kansas Library
Association is currently headquartered in the annex of the Topeka Shawnee County
Library, 1020
SW Washburn Ave., Topeka, KS 66604
and may be reached by calling or faxing 785-235-1383.
Kansas libraries who receive requests for
reconsideration of items in their collections are encouraged to contact KLA. Any
library employee, Friend or trustee may seek assistance from KLA by filing a
“Request for Assistance.” Every effort will be made to respond to
reported incidents with guidance that is timely, practical and effective. KLA
will never interfere with the local librarian's prerogative to resolve their
issue in a manner suitable to the local context. KLA may report serious
incidents to the Office for Intellectual Freedom of the American Library
Association.
