1. I would like to know how many requests to remove books from your library shelves the authority has received in the last three years, and ideally a quarter-by-quarter breakdown of such requests. I'm especially interested in the period directly after the Trump-victory of last November's US election. If a geographical location (within authority area, out of authority area, out of UK) can be provided as well that would be most beneficial.
If at all possible a list of the books requested to be de-shelved in the last six months would be of great use.
This is not information we hold, however we believe we’ve not had any requests.
