|description_of_result=The library's board disagreed, voting 3-0 (two members being absent) in favor of retaining the book. They contend that many prose books and comics depict violence, and that the patron’s interpretation of rape was “misconstrued.” The book is currently shelved in the young adult section of the library with several other graphic novels. Ellyson notes that the review board consistently denies material challenges posed in the community, ensuring the availability of materials for patrons. | |description_of_result=The library's board disagreed, voting 3-0 (two members being absent) in favor of retaining the book.
