Lisa Von Drasek, Children’s Librarian at the Bank Street Library of Education in New York, has written a great rebuttal to the sadly misinformed It Was, Like, All Dark and Stormy. I especially appreciate the correction about librarians who “want to keep the book off the shelves.” That certainly shows a misunderstanding of the role of librarians in selecting materials for teens!

Thanks for directing us to this great response. I added a comment at the WSJ.
