Now there's a woman in Pataskala, Ohio,
wants a sex book banned from the public library. At first she wanted it moved out ot the eyesight of kids, but on further thought decided it shouldn't be in the library at all. Shades of
The League of Extraordinary Porn! And just like Sharon Cook in Nicholasville, Kentucky, Marti Shrigley is keeping the book checked out and paying the fines. (Maybe they should find an eleven year old girl to put a request for the book on hold.) And here we go again:
Currently, parents or legal guardians must sign permission statements on card applications submitted by minors.
Other libraries follow similar policies, and Nojonen said libraries find themselves caught in a Catch-22 because what one parent objects to, another parent might not object to.
"Parental responsibility is the foundation of what does and what does not get borrowed," he said.
This is not a difficult concept.
...and what happens when the kid is in the library by himself - can he check the book out without his parents knowing it? According to the director of the Library of Pataskala - he can.
