I decided to also post the library response, for completeness:
Date Requested:
March 3, 2024
Material(s) Being Reconsidered:
Chesterton, G.K. (1925). The Everlasting Man. Holder and Stoughton.
Action Requested:
Patron is requesting that the Library reclassify the book from the 500s to the 200s due to the book’s content.
Review Synopsis:
Upon review of various consortium catalogs, it is determined that the item in question should be removed to the 200s for better access and browsability with like books.
Recommendation:
This book will be replaced due to age and when the new copy arrives, it will be cataloged in the 200s (either 230 or 261.2, as the Technical Services department is still reviewing the best placement for the item).
