The Po5 Books in libraries

[meggy]

I don't get that though Bingo because they do all these competitions e.c.t. desperatly trying to get people to read and when people really want to read theres always a reason in some shape or form that stop them from reading or reading something in particular it makes no sense to me.

[bingo]

i meant about here...no one other than me and tia read proper books. so if we had them in the library,it would be of little use...

we do have book competitions,but they're all ridiculous ad about classic books and so on. Pretty much useless for anyone over 10...

yeah,but i agree with the last part. First they want people to read then they make up an excuse to stop them reading good books.

I know they should let poeple read what they want!

I'm glad everyone backs me up. I thought it might have just been me getting worked up over nothing.

By the way one of the lib assistants thinks its a bit drastic banning them from the library and she can't see any reason why they shouldn't go in

[bingo]

well,maybe if they had books like that in the library,no one would ever stop reading? i know if my library got the books i wanted i wouldnt even step out of it to eat! but they wont,so i have no worries

good luck getting her to let them in,tho!

[Matt22922]

I spoke to her today and emphasised the fact that its only raven's gate that really "leans towards the dark side". I also made a point in saying how AH doesn't emphasise the witches and stuff in the later books. She said she would re-read them and reconsider. cheers everyone because i had all sorts of counter-arguments ready from all the stuff that had been said e.g the stuff about the last HP book and stuff like that.

Again thanks everyone, this MAY be a break through.

My School library from last year had them and the librarian even read them,
but this year i am being homeschooled, so i guess you could say they are in my school library because i own them.

No one in my school knows who a.h is let alone ravens gate!!

[bingo]

well,its the same thing here! maybe if i kept telling them they might consider getting the Po5 series..but i dunno..

[Matt22922]

No one in my school knows who a.h is let alone ravens gate!!

are  you serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Part of my argument to the librarian was that he is one of the most popular authors in my school

[Rayray. M]

I know my friends wont listen to reason and read the books!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Pedro-ologist]

we have AR in my school libary but not PO5, Mainly because my school does not have the money to get new books, I had to donate all the AR books to get them in there.

[Matt22922]

Even though this teacher is re-reading them i doubt she will let them in the library because she goes to church. that will mean she won't agree with the part in omega one.

No offence to religious people.

[meggy]

I go to church and I've read the PO5 series and personaly love them!
The part in Omega one I didn't really agree with but its only a book and good goes over evil in the end of it so its not really that big of a problem.
It when the book is entirely based on dark magic and all that evil stuff that I won't read it.
There shouldn't be any reason from a religous point of view for your librarian to not let it in because of the small section with Omega one.

Thanks for the support.
thats personally what i thought and i feel better now that someone else who is religious agrees with me
