There is nothing wrong with being a "prude" if that is what you want to call it. (I would simply call it conservative). Nothing wrong with not wanting you or your husband or your child to view porn. Completely personal choice. But would you want a librarian to select what is okay or not okay for you or your child or anyone to view? While I think she went about it in the wrong way I think she had the interest of the child in mind but still it was technically censorship. What if a librarian objected to other "objectionable" material and trashed it? Let's say the library had a book about evolution and she believed in her heart that the book was evil? Or whatever subject, I don't want to divert the discussion to evolution, just an example. Not arguing, just discussing. This is not a simple question.



For me I am okay with porn and have no problem with it being available in a library if it is. Perhaps in an adult section that children can only enter with a parent or something. Personally I liked looking at porn magazines and videos with my former BF. Doing it together made it fun. My idea of fun anyway. I know we all are different and that is fine. (I just hope that none of our homemade sex videotapes never end up on the internet). That is where I draw the line but other than that I am a free spirit.
