How would people interested, concerned or affected by a particular BPL action or matter read our legitimately public BPL departments' curators' collection development reports and policies?...
Our Regional and our so called Massachusetts Library of Last Recourse City of Boston Public Library Departments' Curators have censored legitimately public departmental collection development reports and policies flouting The Library Bill of Rights

Our BPL barriers to access keep at too long an arms reach greater public participation in our public libraries long range planning.
Information that would enable the public to hold the government accountable for any of its operations or activities is a significant contribution to public understanding.
One of the dangers is that the adverse censoring could be politically motivated, and that agencies could begin to entomb themselves from public scrutiny.
Deflecting people asking for access could endanger the integrity of precious information collections.
The information is relevant or of current interest to the general public and our public library board.
One would think that our Boston Public Library Departments' Curators would be happy to cooperate with such a laudible civic interest encouraging people who would read what are considered public records but they usually fight such requests for these records tooth and nail, every step of the way.
