<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to last Wednesday's Forum Online letter by Mr S. Siddharth Sriram, 'Unseemly book in a national library'.
We thank Mr Sriram for bringing to our attention the book, Raman: Desiya Nayagana, Desiya Villana?, and apologise for the unintentional offence caused.
We have withdrawn the book from our libraries. We assure Mr Sriram we view such matters seriously and will re-examine our processes to minimise future occurrences.
We thank Mr Sriram for his feedback. We also wish to highlight that if library users come across any item they may consider inappropriate, they can contact us on 6332-3255 or e-mail [email protected]
