悉尼Waverley议会已将媒体分析师Adam Johnson的著作《How to Sell a Genocide》从邦迪海滩分馆货架上移除，待审查1。此举源于多起投诉，特别是来自邦迪海滩大屠杀幸存者的投诉1。
该书基于大约12,000篇文章和5,000个电视片段的仔细记录1。国际灭绝种族学者协会曾将以色列在加沙的战争描述为符合灭绝种族的法律定义1。
尽管这本书的标题在有大量犹太社区的地区可能令人不适，但图书馆应保持其作为民主公共空间的使命，继续提供多元观点的作品，而非因为内容有争议就永久移除1。澳大利亚2024年报告显示图书馆使用者增加10%至8,800万人，馆藏使用量创历史新高1。
The Waverley Council in Sydney has removed "How to Sell a Genocide," a work by media analyst Adam Johnson, from its Bondi Beach branch pending review.1 The decision followed multiple complaints, particularly from survivors of the Bondi Beach massacre.1
Johnson's book is based on careful documentation drawn from approximately 12,000 articles and 5,000 television segments.1 In response to the removal, the author has argued that despite the book's title potentially causing discomfort in areas with significant Jewish communities, libraries should maintain their role as democratic public spaces offering diverse perspectives rather than permanently removing works solely because their content proves controversial.1
The removal occurs against a backdrop of growing library usage in Australia, with 2024 figures showing a 10 percent increase in library visitors to 88 million people and record-high circulation of library collections.1
