I’m sure that my arguments were not very well put together, but my passion moved him. The tiger came out in me, and when I found out my director had pulled the book from the shelves, I confronted him. There, in the early ‘90s in southern Missouri, the library director decided that because an influential member of the community had complained, that Annie did not belong in our collection. I first encountered the book in library school, reading about diversity and completely fell head over heels for it, so much that I made sure that it was in my first library I served in as a librarian. She wrote in many genres, but my favorite will always be Annie on My Mind. Garden created books that spoke to the needs of LGBT teens and families. Nancy Garden, author of Annie on My Mind, died on June 23rd at the age of 76.
