Problematic Language in the Library Catalog Reporting Form

Mercer County Library System is committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all of its patrons and staff. We acknowledge that outdated and offensive language may exist in our materials’ historical catalog records.

We are committed to updating language that is in our control to edit. Submitting the form will help us identify descriptions that may require revision. Please see our full Statement on Problematic Language in the Library Catalog.

Please note that reporting an item does not guarantee that it will be removed or edited. We will review the language and, as appropriate, update it in a way that balances preservation of the original context with our ongoing commitment to describing materials with accurate and updated language.

    All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.







    Please specify the location (e.g., book title, catalog URL)





    We acknowledge the emotional and mental labor that goes into providing such feedback and appreciate the time you took. If you would like us to contact you regarding any decisions we make on the language you reported, please provide your email below.
