General Note

Dorothy Dodd served as the first state archivist of Florida from 1941 to 1951. She was then the state librarian of Florida from 1951 until her retirement in 1965. The list of children's books recommended for removal in this newsletter include the Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum and the Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene, among others. These books were deemed "poorly written, untrue to life, sensational, foolishly sentimental and consequently unwholesome...." The list caused a national public outcry with many accusing Dodd of censorship. Dodd accepted responsibility for the list, but she continued to defend it.
