Hello all!

Our middle-upper school librarian wanted me to ask you for your opinion
about Vibe magazine (popular music, similar to Rolling Stone). The students
she polled really liked it. However, we did have a couple of staff members
express some reservations about it. This month's issue had a header at the
top of the cover "Hot sex on a platter. Why groupies give it up." It's a
story full of expletives and very blatant sexual talk.

Students at that campus are grades 5 - 10. We don't have any problem with
high schoolers checking it out; but what do you think about middle schoolers
(grades 7-8)? It will be kept behind the circulation desk, where the kids
will have to ask for it.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Kathy
