List of books prohibited under Senate File 496 (Iowa City School District)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Iowa Open Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

An electronic list of all books prohibited from your school district's libraries, classrooms and other distribution systems since the passage of Senate File 496, a new state law that the Des Moines Register says "requires teachers and administrators to review their libraries and classrooms for books that depict sex acts."

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Ben Welsh
