Even in some of the unified schools, the libraries have sections for the different age levels.
Hint: Consider the subject matter of the four "pornographic" books that Alberta specifically wants to ban. It's not that librarians from 40 years ago were more responsible. It's that the Overton window has shifted and that those subjects are more accepted.
