What if by letting one group have a platform in

the Library, other members of the community

do not feel safe using the Library because the

former group is arguing for the extermination of

the latter? Is fear of being hurt or killed not an

abridgment of their rights?

Librarians have a professional responsibility to be

inclusive in collection development and in the

provision of interlibrary loan. Access to all content

legally obtainable should be assured to the user,

and policies should not unjustly exclude content even if it is offensive to the librarian or the user. This

includes content that reflect a diversity of issues,

whether they be, for example, political, economic,

religious, social, ethnic, or sexual. - Diversity in Collection Development
