Book Challenge Policy... a thought

It is interesting that the page I printed from the BC Ministry Guide [1] was the page on creating a policy for books parents are not sure about.  My subconscious is obviously trying to help me make a decision about some "edgy" books I inherited in my new library, which currently are catalogued but not circulated.  I am thinking of putting them back on the shelf with a "mature" label, while some librarians may just shelve them[2].  I will also have to teach students to self-regulate, with thought provoking questions when they choose these books.  But before I decide, I can see the first step is to write "book challenge" policy, using the provided appendices and review it with my principal.
