Yes, keep them on the shelves as per usual

No, please get rid of the out-of-date material (what's the point?)
No, please find and get rid of the problematic media (we don't need that)

It's complicated (write-in below):
Q12 .     So, you say "It's complicated." How? [Is there some content that's problematic but worth keeping? Is there some that needs to be banished from the library forever? Is there a particular type of content that we have an obligation to keep archived as an organization? Do you have strong feelings about avoiding authors making objectionable statements? Is there anything else we should know when we start trying to make space on our shelves?] Tell us here:
Q13 .     Would you like to add anything else?
