We encourage parents to let their children know what they feel is appropriate,\” said Anya Breitenbach, spokeswoman for the Denver Public Library.
\”Denver is a pioneering library in terms of letting kids have access to all the books in the collection,\” Breitenbach said. \”Also, Denver established one of the first children\’s libraries.\”
As in Denver, Douglas County offers a separate children\’s video collection in its children\’s libraries, said Jamie LaRue, library director for Douglas County.
\”No restriction is in place that would prevent a minor from checking out\” an R-rated video, LaRue said. However, \”most people are pretty good about checking out videos that are appropriate for their age. We\’ve never had a 6-yearold asking for an R-rated video.\”
