Debra Wilcox Klein Book Haven Collection

MHLS annually commits to purchasing each title on the ALA’s Most Challenged Book list.

The Debra Wilcox Klein Book Haven Collection was established to further ensure the Freedom to Read for all patrons served by member libraries in the System. The collection is made up of titles most frequently challenged across the United States.

It is named in honor of Debra Wilcox Klein, whose dedication and hard work in her professional life, and through her volunteer service on the Board of Trustees of the Mid-Hudson Library System, reflected her commitment to ensuring intellectual pursuits that improve the human condition are available to all in our communities.
