Jesus talks to God the Father about us and our requests.

So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. --Hebrews 4;14-16, NLT

Just having the attention of the King of the universe and being able to approach Him (through Jesus) anytime, anywhere, and know that we will be received is phenomenal!

So, he is our best Friend, and, when we get weary, spending time with Him in prayer, worship, and listening to the Word, is the best way to go! Glory!

Keep on praying. Keep on serving. Keep on giving.

You are making a positive difference in this needy, dark world, every day!

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

--Matthew 5:14-16, NLT

and will be asked to review the mission, selection criteria, Library Bill of Rights, Freedom to Read Statement, the completed reconsideration form, the reviews, awards and honors if they exist.

“The committee will be asked to be neutral and set aside bias on controversial issues to objectively review the material. The committee will be asked to evaluate values, faults, and form an opinion based on the material as a whole, not isolated passages,” he said.

The district goal is to schedule an initial meeting with the Material Reconsideration Committee within 10 school days of the submitted reconsideration form. If multiple requests are submitted, more days may be needed.

In looking at materials to be considered part of the district’s library collection library/media specialists look at recommendations from teachers, students, administrators and community members.

In considering materials media specialist/librarians consider accuracy, quality, content, appropriateness, costs, format, purpose, durability, availability, readability, scope, illustration, language, and representation.

“Selection is an ongoing process that includes removing materials that are no longer used or needed, adding materials, and replacing lost and worn materials that still have educational value in alignment with ZPS’s library and mission values,” he said.
