[Publib] "tolerance"

[lynne ingersoll]

Several years ago I asked our cataloger to recatalog all the Wicca books,
then in the Occult section, into the 200's to put it with other religions.
I wasn't looking for dissent but I was surprised that absolutely no one
commented or probably even noticed.

In a time long,long ago in a library far, far away we did a patron survey.
One patron wrote that she was "tolerant" of the fact that we had books on
other religions.  The next day the Booklist featuring books on religion
arrived.  I took great delight in testing her tolerance by buying books on
every religion I could find.
