MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 477

Library Service - "American Psycho"

Mr Cornwell - asked the Minister for Urban Services: In relation to the publication American Psycho placed upon the restricted list of the ACT Library Service

(1) Is it a fact that the sole copy of this publication is now missing.

(2) Why is this copy missing in view of the new procedures to monitor books borrowed.

(3) Is it intended to replace this copy and, if not, why not.

Mr Connolly - the answer to the Members question is.as follows:

(1) Yes the sole copy of the publication American Psycho is now missing.

(2) The book is missing because the last borrower claims to have lost it.

(3) It is not intended to replace this book. When a book is reported as missing, the title is reviewed to see if it should be replaced in the same way as books that are outdated or worn out. In this case the title does not have sufficient literary merit or demand to warrant purchasing a further copy.
