D’oh! Hillsborough County librarians spent much of Tuesday tracking down a series of children’s books that referred readers to a telephone sex line.
Patricia MacMartin discovered the faulty phone number when her 9-year-old daughter asked to dial the 800 number in the back of her Magic Attic Club book. She notified library officials and when they didn’t remove the books, she checked out every Magic Attic book available from her local branch, the New Tampa Regional Library.
“She did the right thing,” said Braulio Colon, spokesman for the Hillsborough County Public Library Cooperative. “We dropped the ball; no question.”
wow. Just … wow.
This was a comment post to the newspaper story:
“Great more censorship coming down from the Bush administration. Unbelievable!!!”
Breathtaking. I give it a 7.5 — no! An 8 on the Crazy Meter.
Do you think people like this go duck hunting and just spend the day firing randomly at the sky?
LOL
HaHa… I was pulling the cards with the numbers out of the back of these books as I read this post. 🙂
