Book will stay in school library

30 May 1984

Abstract

The Philomath Middle School board decided to retain the book On Reading Palms. Two parents were concerned about the book’s contents and felt that it didn’t reflect the values of the community. The school librarian defended the book saying it had good reviews and was appropriate for the age group.
