and those making such a decision need to be fired. Libraries MUST be non-judgmental and tolerant of all ideas and ideals whether they are personally distasteful or not. Might as well ban Mark Twain. Nothing wrong with an adults only section in a library. In fact such a move would be quite progressive. It's an fugly image in many, many cases but not as bad as censoring legal books.
One could easily make a case to not allow books on WWII with concentration camp photos or Vietnam era books with photos from the battle field or prison camps.
Sorry don't wanna derail what is a good thread. I'll stop at what I've written.
