Dirty Books Guy Returns

Looks like the Dirty Book
Guy
may have won after all.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg\’s library system library board
leaders told librarians to consider limiting children\’s
access to selected library books. The library board
chairman and vice chairman asked for measures that
could be taken to \”safeguard\” children\’s \”access to
adult controversial books.\”

They also want to review the library\’s book selection
policy to ensure it reflects \”community standards in the
broadest possible sense.\”

\”We decided that, based on continuing concern
that we\’ve heard expressed, we would go and look at
our acquisition process and we\’d ask staff to look at
how accessible objectionable materials are to young
children.\”
