[LM_NET] Target: Consumer Products Safety Act 2008 and ALA

[Pamela Thompson <pthomp@SISD.NET>]

I got an email from ALA stating that there is to be some legislation that may 
require children's books to be tested for lead. The Consumer Products Safety Act," 
has been interpreted to include books as a product that must be tested for lead."

Did anyone else get this? What implications does it have for libraries?
