ELEM: art books w/nudes

[Rosemary and Gregory Meece <grrmgr@BELLATLANTIC.NET>]

Colleagues,

    What are your thoughts on having art books containing nudes in your
elementary (K-5) library?  I"m talking in particular about art books written
for children but may contain pictures such as The Birth of Venus
(Botticelli), or reclining nudes.  I would be interested in your opinion as
a professional librarian and as a parent.  TIA for your reply.
