 Teen Vogue
Editor-In-Chief: Versha Sharma Format: Online Subjects: celebrity news, politics, fashion, beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and entertainment Frequency: Quarterly Publisher: Condé Nast Website: https://www.teenvogue.com Summary Teen Vogue is a magazine that focuses on quality writing in both its features and investigative journalism stories. It is available on a variety of online platforms, including social media. Focusing on celebrity news, politics, fashion, beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and entertainment, there is an article for almost anyone. Critical Evaluation Teen Vogue is dedicated to informing teens about the world, growing beyond only being a lifestyle magazine. Some of the most hard-hitting articles can be found in Teen Vogue, bringing back investigative journalism that is akin to Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair, and Murray Marder. It does not forget that life includes things that bring pleasure, however. The magazine continues to include stories that were Vogue's foundation—fashion, celebrity news, and entertainment. It is an all-encompassing read that is approachable to teens. Its online-only format may be a challenge to more traditional magazine readers, but a subscription that is preloaded on a library tablet in the teen space, for example, would make it as easy access as a paper copy.

The Library selects materials in accordance with the guidelines stated by the American Library Association in its Library Bill of Rights, and Freedom to Read Statement and Freedom to View Statements. The Library supports diversity of expression and views in its collection in an attempt to provide patrons with a foundation for making informed decisions and formulating personal opinions. The Library does not exclude items because of the race, nationality, social, political, or religious views of the authors. The presence of controversial materials in the collection does not represent the Library’s endorsement of the opinions expressed therein. Although some materials selected may contain language and/or illustrations that may be offensive to some patrons, the Library cannot undertake the task of pleasing all individuals by censoring such items. Active Listening Skills Staff should listen calmly to the patron’s concerns without judgement or commentary. They should acknowledge the public’s right to challenge materials and help the patron find an alternative item that will fit their needs. Nevada County Library Reconsideration form Any citizen may challenge materials. If the citizen chooses to submit a written Request for Reconsideration of Library Materials, Library staff will collect reviews and accumulate data on how the material conforms to the selection policy. An ad hoc review committee consisting of the Library Director, Branch Manager, one other librarian, and a citizen appointed at the discretion of the Library Director will review the material, judge whether it conforms to the Selection Policy and submit its report in writing to the Nevada County Board of Supervisors. Concerned parties will be notified of the final decision in writing.
