"For many years I have admired and respected your company's efforts to recognize individuals in the professional library community who have willingly stepped forward to defend the principles of intellectual freedom, not only to their communities but also to their own organizations. These role models have helped to give me courage, and have strengthened my commitment to following a well-developed policy when materials have been challenged."
