Working-list links reappear in RatedBooks files
November 2021–May 2022; March 2026 snapshot · Utah; USA
Some source links from the November 2021 working list appear again in the April 2022 RatedBooks master sheet. A saved Utah Parents United LaVerna page dated November 25, 2021 also gives the contact address RatedBooks later used. That was months before its 2022 domain registration.
Show the dated details
On March 24, 2022, the RatedBooks.org domain was re-registered. An unrelated site used the domain in 2015–2016.
Google Drive details date "Rated Book Review List: Author, Publisher and URL" to April 7, 2022. Some titles now dated April 14 had blank Date Added cells in the Legislature’s 2022 copy. That makes April 14 an unconfirmed import date.
On May 6, 2022, Google Drive file details identify Mary in the Library USA as owner of a copy of Natalie Cline's May 4 Draft 2 of a library model policy. Hosting the copy does not identify its author.
Saved pages from May 18 to 21, 2022 show RatedBooks’ earlier Wix site, its 1–5 scale and pages for several states. RatedBooks still redirects there. A May 19 saved page requires phone verification or a callback form to continue.
The saved RatedBooks homepage from March 8, 2026 links to LaVerna's Facebook group. Beside that link, it lists the same public email used in RatedBooks' incorporation filing.

Open question
Can the original list and revision history identify its authors, editors and imports? Who wrote the model policy, and who only hosted a copy?
