Ah. Now I went there to read (and to get away from home for a bit, but that's another story). After I finished the school library and the local branch library's stock of children's books I was allowed to go to the main library in the town centre. There I first made the acquaintance of Arthur Conan Doyle, Dickens, and Baroness Orczy, at the age of about 9.
It will be a great pity if this American law puts children off literacy. I'm also sorry for all the very small businesses and local craftspeople, who can't afford to have their goods tested.
