> This is a request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G.
> L. Chapter 66, Section 10) for a copy of the following records:
>
> Copies of written and electronic complaints and challenges for
> removal, reclassification, or other reconsideration of publications
> including books, magazines, movies, websites (e.g. filtered from
> library computers), or other media from January 1, 2010, to present,
> as well as records, petitions, and correspondence related to these
> challenges.
>
> We seek such records as, for example, are classified by the
> Massachusetts? Supervisor of Public Records Municipal Records
> Retention Manual under Section 17.004: Complaint and Censorship
> Records, though we do not limit our request to those so classified.
>
> According to 950 CMR 32.06(5), every custodian of records is
> encouraged to waive fees where disclosure would benefit the public
> interest, as we believe these will. This request is part of a
> research project by the Center for Civic Media to better understand
> how and why library materials are challenged in the Commonwealth of
> Massachusetts. We are committed to open access and plan to make our
> findings broadly available to the public. If fees cannot be waived
> please inform me in advance.
>
> We ask that, if possible, you please respond via email with text
> documents or clear, high-quality scanned PDFs. If you cannot reply
> electronically, please mail us the best quality copies you
> reasonably can. Your efforts helps us ensure broad accessibility and
> equity.
>
> The statute requires your response to this request within 10
> business days. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in helping
> us better understand this important aspect of the work that you do.
> Please feel free to email me directly if you have any further
> questions.
