Abstract
The last taboo — still taboo Spring has come to South London and a strange sound fills the air. Not the thwack of leather on willow, nor the whirr of lawnmower blade on long winter grass. It is the deafening silence of thousands of New Library World readers on the book selection/censorship debate. In my last column (Mar 86) I called the subject “the last taboo”, and it seems that for most library workers the subject is still taboo; too difficult and threatening to be discussed; capable of arousing strong feelings and painful emotions, anathema to many librarians.
