“Money is placed into materials which meet children's informational needs, expand their multicultural awareness and experiences and which are of a higher literary quality.”
Toni Bernardi, head of children's services for the San Francisco library system
Library Snubs Nancy DrewSan Francisco Chronicle, May 7,1996, p. A1
Nancy Drew v. San Francisco Public LibraryNancy Drew v. San Francisco Public Library
Just as social critics condemned dime novels, librarians and teachers denounced the series books. Franklin K. Mathiews, chief librarian of the Boy Scouts of America, wrote in 1914: "I wish I could label each one of these books: 'Explosive! Guaranteed to Blow Your Boy's Brains Out.' . . . [A]s some boys read such books, their imaginations are literally 'blown out,' and they go into life as terribly crippled as though by some material explosion they had lost a hand or foot."

H. W. Wilson Company, the largest U.S. manufacturer of library supplies, refused to print the index cards for the card catalog for Nancy Drew, and even published a list of nearly 60 authors who should not be circulated by libraries, all of them authors for series like Tom Swift and the Bobbsey Twins.

“The New Main [Library] may be a multimillion dollar architectural and technological wonder, but the most awesome accoutrements are meaningless if durable, favorite books are absent.”

Letters to the editorThe San Francisco Chronicle MAY 10, 1996, Pg. A26
The vast majority of successful women I know grew up devouring Nancy Drew books. We learned that girls could be resourceful, intelligent, articulate, kind and assertive (like Nancy), boyish (like George) or even a bit chubby and squeamish (like Bess).
These girls did not rely on boys, fisticuffs, or even parents to help them out of what appear to librarian-jaded eyes as predictable dangers. We read these books, learned a few detective skills, and most importantly, learned to love reading. (Perhaps it is only a coincidence that one of my daughters is named Hannah.)
Bring Nancy Drew to the library.

On one of my other listservs I read that San Francisco Public Library announced that it was no longer going to carry Nancy Drew mysteries. Does anyone know the full story? I understand there have been some protests. Are they no longer carrying just Nancy Drew or is this extended to the Hardy Boys, The Bobbsey Twins, and all of their ilk?

Subject: Nancy Drew series inter alia To those who would consider dropping series such as these from the library collection, I recommend a book I stumbled upon recently: PARENTS WHO LOVE READING, KIDS WHO DON'T (by Mary Leonhardt, c1993, Random). One of Ms. Leonhardt's premises is that well-intentioned librarians, teachers, and parents MURDER kids' love of reading by telling them that all the things they really LIKE to read -- Nancy Drew, BabySitters, Goosebumps -- are just trash and instead trying to cram down their throats a Medal-winning book about how the Aztecs planted corn. Her point is that if kids learn through what she calls sub-literature -- comic books, series books -- that reading is a pleasurable pasttime that one might actually choose instead of say, television, their reading skills will improve, the habit of reading will be established, and reading of "literature" will come along with it. Furthermore, as a parent, I certainly expect to find Dick, Nan, Freddy, and Flossie at my library.

What do you think?
What are the issues here?
Should the public library carry the Nancy Drew series?
Discussion question:
Nancy Drew v. San Francisco Public LibraryNancy Drew v. San Francisco Public Library
Outcome:
Charge: The library is showing its elitist bent by excluding Nancy Drew mysteries from the collection.
Response: The library has given up the “literary merit” fight, and Nancy is in.
American libraries 27(7), August 1996.
Reading begets readingTom Barry
“Buried as we were in the arid plains of West Texas … The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, whatever else promised vicarious adventure, was my meat. I haunted the public library.”…“Reading leads to more reading.”
The Austin American-Statesman (Texas). May 11, 1996, editorial, p. A10.
Nancy Drew v. San Francisco Public LibraryNancy Drew v. San Francisco Public Library
Over a five-year period, I surveyed 2,887 teachers, with an average of 14 years teaching experience. When asked to name the favorite books from their own childhoods, 30 percent named a series book as their personal childhood favorite. Since a recent study shows teachers' literacy skills to be the equal of their college classmates and 50 percent of teachers' skills exceed 80 percent of the general population's, it should be obvious that series books do not impede literacy.
