i agree that it isn't simple and that the librarian, while having the interests of the child at heart, did it in a way that is censorship. while i wouldn't want the kid looking at something pornographic one's parents should be the censors rather than the librarians if there is no policy in place. i do think firing the librarians was too much. the library board really could have used it as a teaching moment and just given these libarians a warning. ironically, this is banned book week: celebrating the freedom to read so her timing was not good. here are some classic books that have been banned or challenged.
